Pictured above is my 3rd great-uncle Ovillier Guillot and his family. He is the 4th great-grandson of Jean Baptiste Guillot.
Today is the Day of Commemoration for the Acadian Expulsion.
While I have quite a few direct ancestors who lived in Nova Scotia and ended up in France at the time of the expulsion, there's only one family unit that I have been able to confirm was expelled.
That was the family of my 8th great-grandfather Jean Baptiste Guillot, born in Acadia in 1720 with his body given to the Atlantic Ocean in 1758. His family was expelled from Cobequid, Acadia, Nova Scotia to France during the brutal "Great Expulsion" by the British, who wanted to squelch any potential threats from the Acadians and the Mi'kmaq during the French and Indian War.
His son (my 7th great-grandfather) Charles Olivier Miquel Guillot was only 13 in 1758 when they had to take the long, arduous 75-day journey to France. His father Jean, along with 4 of his brothers, never made it off of the ship.
Charles grew up in France where he married and had 3 children of his own. They left France in 1785 to board one of the seven ships paid for by Spain, Le Saint-Rémi, to take them to Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.
Many members of the Wabanaki Confederacy (I believe predominately it was the Mi'kmaq militia), in addition to other affiliated Indigenous tribes and Acadians, who rallied a resistance were slaughtered or expelled. They refused to swear loyalty to the British crown and surrender to British colonists, refused to convert from Catholicism to Protestantism, and refused to allow themselves to be displaced without a fight. Numerous battles took place to stop the deportation with wins and losses across the board.
While no one has one lineage, I was raised as a proud Cajun despite having often felt ashamed of being Cajun for various reasons (like my accent). I even tried my hardest over twelve years to banish anything that could link me to my roots, not knowing the history behind a part of my ethnicity and culture.
Digging into my ancestry has been a wild ride, and there were many things found within my lineages that were not honorable in any way, but this chunk of my history? This has made me proud to be Cajun again.
I wish I had respected it more when I was still able to be immersed in it. I wish I had asked my pawpaw to tell me more stories. I wish I had kept up with Cajun French (AKA Louisiana French). I wish I hadn't let my cultural heritage fall through my fingers.
Many blessings to those who fought and lost their lives against the British colonists in an attempt to secure the freedom of not only themselves but of future generations to come.
[Disclaimer: I am still only beginning to educate myself about this event and am utilizing my current understanding of how events unfolded and who was involved. I apologize in advance for any misconceptions or misinformation regarding the historical accuracy of my comments.]

News and Reflections: "Acadians in Maryland" sign, dedicated on "Day of Commemoration of the Great Upheaval" -- September 8, 2022
Princess Anne, Maryland, was the first Maryland town to recognize formally the history of Acadians in Maryland (see: https://acadianswerehere.org/index.html)
following their expulsion from Nova Scotia, Canada in 1755. The official dedication of the "Acadians in Maryland" sign (see: https://acadianswerehere.org/acadians-in-princess-anne-and-snow-hill.html) took place on July 28, 2013 – the "Day of Commemoration of the Great Upheaval."

Haunting the valley
Living off the land. This concept has distant, romantic connotations for me. It brings to mind “the Homesteaders” and draft dodgers who came to Northern Cape Breton in the 1960s and 70s, mainly from bigger cities in the States, longing for a simple existence off the land. I’m fascinated by these stories and it always strikes me when I look at images of the young, educated homesteaders, how much they resemble photographs my father took in the late 1970s and early 1980s documenting my Mother’s family here, in Ingonish. My grandfather, Albert Doyle, was a fisherman and the family were, essentially, living off the land.
Grandad descended from a long line of Doyles who fished in Ingonish and his family once owned the land that now houses the Keltic Lodge and golf course. Grandad’s family sold the land to Henry Corson who established a hobby farm here - picture a barn where the golf club now stands, and fields and pastures on the greens. Corson’s wife, Julia, suffered from T.B. and they resided in Ingonish to benefit her health.
The ancestral Doyles spent the fishing season every year just beyond here, on the Middle Head Peninsula, in small, seasonal fishing shacks. It was there that my family gathered to honour the memory of my Uncle Stephen after his death in 1996. Stephen was deeply interested in history and literature and he studied both, in College and University, becoming the first member of our immediate family to earn a Bachelor’s degree.
In the fall of 2015, I was in the first term of my Masters of Fine Art working as a teaching assistant to the professor of Indigenous Studies. During class one day she said something along the lines of “know your own history so you can tell your own story.” This resonated with me. I had already been gathering oral history from my grandmother each time I visited her home in Ingonish. We’d sit at the kitchen table over cups of hot tea, made just so, and she’d tell me stories of growing up in Ingonish and her family who had farmed the Clyburn Valley before it was expropriated for the Park in 1937.
I have my own memories of the family homestead in the Clyburn Valley, partially formed by an issue of Cape Breton Magazine from 1988 which features my great aunt Leona and great uncle Tom talking about growing up in the Valley. My personal version includes a faded memory of being a child walking up to the 11th green of the golf course with members of my immediate and extended family. We saw a family of pheasants on the way and I held a fluffy, yellow chick in my hands. We swung out on the rope swing, but didn’t let go to plunge into the frigid Clyburn, it was too early yet for that. It was spring and we were walking into the Valley to visit the place where the Doucette homestead once stood. We were shown the remnants of flower gardens where bleeding heart and vinca still rambled next to the carefully groomed greens.
The Doucette farm in the Clyburn Valley is the stuff of family legend. Multiple sources tell the story of a lush, green, idyllic existence from another time, a time of back breaking labour and fortitude, living in the isolation of the wilderness. Alongside these realities, it was the magical stories that stood out in my mind: tales of ships built deep in the woods, to access the tallest trees, and sailed down the Clyburn when it was wide and deep. Tales of gold buried beneath killick stone doorsteps, strawberries as big as your fist, and giant ocean trout pulled from the river by children before breakfast. It was recalled as a quiet, satisfying existence where the efforts of your physical toil were evident on your dinner plate, in the roof over your head and the warming fire in your hearth.
Needless to say, these stories have stayed with me over the years, stoked by walks up to the 11th green and hikes to the abandoned gold mine nearby.
It was this year, in 2017, that I really fell down the rabbit hole. I was researching this project heavily and I went deep into time to read about the Indigenous peoples who resided on this land for millennia, choosing Ingonish and the Clyburn Valley for its richness in fish and game, and its relative shelter. This is a place with deep roots in fishing from the Mi’kmaw thousands of years ago to fishermen from Portugal, Spain and France recalled coming ashore as early as the 1500s, to the people still fishing the same waters today.
I learned that when Ingonish was first populated by European Settlers, it was the Acadians who lived alongside the Mi’kmaw people who had already been occupying the land for thousands of years. My reading told me that Acadian and Mi’kmaw families fled together, through the Clyburn Valley, when the British came to raze the outlying French villages in Cape Breton and seize the Fortress of Louisbourg in 1745, ultimately leading to the Expulsion of the Acadians several years later. I learned that my Doucette ancestors had already been in Ingonish at that time and had fled through the Clyburn Valley and over the mountains to Port Hood and Mabou.
Family history tells me that Francis Doucette was married to a woman of Mi’kmaw descent named Mary Elizabeth who died while giving birth to triplets. The triplets also perished and Mary Elizabeth and her babies are said to be buried together somewhere in the Clyburn Valley. Reading this story reminded me of my grandmother, Mary and her twin brother, Joey, who were the last children to be born in the Valley in 1937. It was March and the Valley was still deep in snow. There wasn’t enough time to bring the midwife - Mary and Joey were delivered at home by their older sister, Rose.
Their father, Thomas Leo Doucette, had been the last child born in the Valley before them, in 1897. It was just after the goldmine closed, and its workers had departed the Valley, leaving the Doucette’s in deep isolation. They soon followed the goldmine workers, leaving their 25 acre tract and its farmhouse behind them. For 40 years, the Doucette tract was occupied only by grazing cattle. In 1917, Thomas Leo was overseas serving in WWI, when his mother died, willing the Clyburn land to him. It was while serving in Europe that Leo met and married Agnes Lucy Devinish, in London, England on October 9, 1917. Leo had a brooch made for Lucy from coins collected in the countries he was stationed in during the war years, and in 2015, as the family goldsmith, I was given this family heirloom to care for by my grandmother, Mary.
Following the war, Leo and Lucy settled in New Waterford where Leo was a coal miner. He had been gassed during his time in service, so with fading health and with the onset of the Depression, Leo and Lucy moved their family back to the Doucette farmland in the Clyburn Valley. Here they farmed cauliflower, turnips and cabbage to sell to grocers in Sydney, as well as other crops for personal use. Rhubarb was grown as an early spring crop that was an important source of essential vitamins and minerals after a long winter deep in the forest. Parsley and summer savoury were some of Lucy’s favourite seasonings and my grandmother recalls the constant presence of these herbs drying in their kitchen.
It is with this knowledge, and under the instruction of my Aunt Carol, who tends these grounds, that I have built this garden commemorating the people of the Cape Breton Highlands, past, present and future. People who have worked in collaboration with the land to build a community and create an existence that is as filled with fascinating stories and historical facts as it was with toil and hardship. There are multiple histories to be told about this place, and numerous perspectives to look at it from. Ours is but one.
