The Chiac or Chiac-Acadians (Le peuples Chiac Acajins) are the Acadians who live primarily in the rural areas of coastal south-east New Brunswick, they're different than other Acadians, as the Chiac people are descendants of the intermixing of 17th Century French settlers from Gascony and local Native Indigenous people (Wabanaki).
Some also have Black ancestry, due to intermixing with the African people (today known as Black Nova Scotians and Afro-Metis) who lived/lives in the regions of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Due to historical Anti-miscegenation laws in the 18th century, assimilation, ignorance, social suppression and historical censorship the Chiac people have been historically forgotten, and today are only categorized as Acadians.
Chiac or Chiacque, is also the name of the dialect that the Chiac speak, yet since the 1950s and 1960s a small portion of the Chiac language has mixed with the English language, due to further assimilation with the majority English population.

Get the Chian kiok mug.Chiamaka is a name that describes the beauty of God. Chiamaka loves the Lord and wants Him to be proud of her always. Chiamaka loves to spend hours in vocal worship because it makes her feel closer to her God. She likes to read books, eat, and go on road trips. People say Chiamaka is funny but she does not really know about that. Chiamaka does not mind staying indoors all day. Chiamaka is shy and does not want to go on writing about herself 🙈. But she is amazing and you will definitely love her when you meet her!
