The Chiac people of coastal south-eastern New Brunswick, are distant descendants of the Black Moors of Iberia and Southern France/Gaul, who were expelled from Spain in 1609, most of them who were forced to give up their names, religion and culture, and expelled from Spain to Southern France, they were assimilated and then in the mid 1600s, were shipped to the French colony of Acadia as indentured servants, they were then known as Acadians or "Of Acadia". They mixed with the other French settlers and the aboriginal Indigenous people of the region.
For the most part, the Chiac were assimilated, historically forgotten and culturally whitewashed by the British Empire, when they were conquered and colonized in the 1700s.
Today, traces can be found such as Westmorland County (West-moor-land), where the Chiac people resides, the Tintamarre tradition, which many Non-Chiac Acadians also celebrate, originates from the Chiac as Tintamarre or "Tainted"-Moors.
