La Déportation des Acadiens ne visait, ni plus ni moins, que la disparition de ce peuple courageux, ingénieux et porteur d'une culture vibrante, qui rayonne encore aujourd'hui bien au-delà des frontières désormais inexistantes de l'Acadie.
The deportation of the Acadians had but one goal: the disappearance of this courageous and ingenious people with its vibrant culture. That culture is, however, still alive and flourishing today, far beyond the confines of the now defunct Acadia.
