The Fight to Preserve Louisiana French Culture
-
Narrated by:

By:
Nous Foundation focuses on preserving and promoting Louisiana’s French heritage through cultural programming, education, and the arts. On this episode of Pelican Briefs, hosts Etosha McGee and Charles Miller dive into the work of the foundation and Etosha’s experience serving on its board, including the opening of a French bookstore in the French Quarter and grant programs that support language and cultural revitalization across Louisiana.
We also explore the bigger picture of French language preservation in Louisiana—from the sharp decline in French speakers over the last century to the renewed interest in French immersion programs and global Francophone connections. Together we unpack why protecting Louisiana French, Creole, and Indigenous languages matters to the state’s identity and how cultural organizations, educators, and artists are working to bring these traditions back into everyday life.
