Acadie (en anglais)
[modifier | modifier le code]Acadia or Acadie (French: Acadie)
Toponymy
[modifier | modifier le code]The most likely origin of the toponym originated with the explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, serving the king of France in 1524.[1] « Archadia » was first applied to the Atlantic coast of present Delaware, in reference to « the beauty of its trees ».[1] Over the years, cartographers used variations of this toponym further north; it was applied to what in now the Maritimes provinces of Canada by the 1620s.[1]
Status
[modifier | modifier le code]The status of Acadia is diversely described depending of sources. It is described by the The Canadian Encyclopedia as a "land", or as of a "minority, a "country" with vague outlines but a vigourus spirit" or a "territory".[1]
Boundaries
[modifier | modifier le code]Drawing maps of Acadia is a difficult task.[1] Using the criterias of French language use and a sense of common belonging, Acadian communities spread through North and East parts of New Brunswick, to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.[1] The Acadian diaspora found in Quebec, Frane and Louisiana is not included in this definition.[1]
