Dear fellow editors,
I am leaving the present message to ask for advice and assistance from other editors interested in the present article, concerning recent removal of cited content by an IP editor,
here and
here, which clearly contravenes
WP:NPOV, and particularly
Achieving neutrality:
As a general rule, do not remove sourced information from the encyclopedia solely on the grounds that it seems biased. Instead, try to rewrite the passage or section to achieve a more neutral tone.
This topic of "
Métis" has been raised before:
above, and also
here. Unfortunately, I am not an expert on the subject and would therefore welcome advice and assistance from colleagues who are. Thank you.
With kind regards;

While the term Metis originated on the east coast, it's almost never used here. This is because it has come to describe a group of people who have become their own culture partially as a result of lack of acceptance from their originating cultures. On the east coast, these multicultural descendants in that era were mostly children of a Mi'kmaq or Maliseet parent, and an Acadian parent. These children were accepted by both of their parents' cultures, and therefore the term Metis as it came to be used didn't apply. They were simply considered to belong to their parents' cultures. 134.41.125.109 ( talk) 01:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
While I certainly don't want to exclude anyone who considers themselves to be Acadian, I feel the definition and numbers are getting a bit overly broad. With no disrespect meant, it feels like Cajuns have become their own distinct culture at this point. Their relation to Acadians is certainly worth mentioning, but for things like population and such, I don't know that they should be lumped in. How many people in Louisiana or Texas would call themselves "Acadian"? I really doubt it's remotely near the almost million figure that has been added to the article. Acadian culture is generally most present in Atlantic Canada, and yet if someone glanced at this article, they'd think Atlantic Canada was a footnote. 134.41.125.109 ( talk) 01:25, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Journee d'acadie " Acadian day" is almost like st.patricks day , in way , that even if your not descendents of Ireland, everyone can celebrate it ! Same as Acadian day .. it's becoming a holiday for older generation to educate younger ones that they struggle with discrimination or anything because they were french speaking. Younger generation aren't so discriminated nowadays.haha. guess some are but anyway it's just an excuse to drink and do nothing that defines us as Acadian. ***Side note** Acadian and Cajuns aren't the same ! Same acestry not same culture. Acadianproud87 ( talk) 15:54, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
The sentence "The British prohibited them from resettling their lands and villages in what became Nova Scotia" is misleading. While many former Acadian villages were resettled by English settlers (many of them "New England Planters"), the Acadians were allowed to resettle in Nova Scotia. In 1756, some of the Acadians were expelled from what is now called Barrington, in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia. They spent 10 years in exile in Massachusetts and returned in 1766. Their land (Barrington) has been resettled but they were allowed to settle further up the coast. In fact, many Acadian villages in Yarmouth County--Amirault's Hill, Eel brook, Wedgeport, East and West Pubnico, etc.--were settled by returning exiled Acadians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.54.82 ( talk) 18:10, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
How do I have vandalism edits reverted on the page? I had added cited sources (academic ones) and those edits were reverted. The definition of the ethnic origins of the Acadians seems to be a contentious, controversial issue in the lead paragraph? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.95.87.187 ( talk) 15:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
"The Acadians are an ethnic group descended from the French who settled in the New France colony of Acadia. ... Most Acadians live in the region of Acadia, as it is the region where the descendants of a few Acadians who escaped the Expulsion of the Acadians re-settled." If that is saying something more than "Acadians are from Acadia", then it needs to be explained more carefully. 2603:8001:D300:A631:0:0:0:10D0 ( talk) 18:33, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
