Maine Humanities Council | Borders and Borderlands: The Acadian Experience in Maine. How do geographic, political, ethnic, and cultural boundaries shape and define our lives? In the U.S., our border with Mexico gets the most press coverage and figures most prominently in political discourse. The Canadian-U.S. border, far longer and comparatively more peaceful, is little studied by comparison. What can an examination of this boundary line teach us? In Borders and Borderlands: The Acadian Experience in Maine, we’ll study the northeastern border between the U.S. and Canada through the lens of the Acadians, a French-speaking group that makes up one of many nationalities in this rural region.
