An Ethnic Chiac Acadian, sometimes spelled Chiak Akadian or Chiakkadian, is a mixed or creole Acadian ethnicity, originating and residing primarily in coastal south-east New Brunswick,
Canada. They also speak a distinct Creole language, which is also called Chiac (yet some
non-chiac of the region also speak the language).
The Chiac Acadians are primarily of Native Indigenous , Acadian ,
French/Spanish (Moors) and African ancestry by co-mingling and integrating with the
Black Loyalists who migrated to New Brunswick, into the Chiac Acadian community of coastal southeast New Brunswick, in the 1780'
s.
The Ethnic Chiac Acadian has dealt with forced assimilation/
rape/oppression/suppressed history/acculturation/whitewashing and subsequent deportation and enslavement primarily by the colonizing
British. Due to this assimilation and colonization (prior, during and after the exile), many Chiac Acadians have lost a fair amount of their original dark pigmentation and features to some degree.
