Cultures Project

Lafayette, Louisiana, exists at a cultural crossroads where the traditions, stories, and contributions of diverse communities converge to create a rich cultural exchange. From the ancient roots of Native American tribes to the vibrant legacies of European settlers, African Americans, and Acadians, and the enduring influences of Laotian, Vietnamese, Sicilian, Hispanic, and Lebanese cultures, this project celebrates the people who have shaped Acadiana.
