 ACADIAN FLAG

 

 

Dean Arceneaux designed the Louisiana Cajun flag in 1965.

 

The three Fleurs-de Lis (flower of the lily) on a blue field symbolizes the French origin of the Acadians.

 

The gold tower on a red field symbolizes Spain which controlled Louisiana at the time of the Acadian migration.

 

The gold star on a white field represents Our Lady of the Assumption, patroness of the Acadians.  The star also symbolizes the active participation of the Acadians in the American revolution against the British.
