La Quête De L'Identité Dans Deux Romans Acadiens: Le Chemin Saint-Jacques Et Moncton Mantra [The Quest For Identity In Two Acadian Novels: Le Chemin Saint-Jacques And Moncton Mantra], Lisa Pelletier

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In most people's minds the word "Acadian" is synonomous with "Deportation." Between 1755 ans 1763, the British government deported seventy-five percent of the French Neutrals of Acadia, an estimated 11,000 men, women, and children. Immediately after the Treaty of Paris of 1763 and from all parts of the world, Acadians started the return journey. Those who reestablished themselves in Nova Scotia (Acadia no longer existed as a geographic location since 1713) and southern New Brunswick were once again removed from their new lands as Loyalists flowed in by the thousands after their defeat in the American Revolution.

Code Of Election Ethics Served A Purpose, Co-Creator Says, Susan Young

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

While half the state's voters went to the polls Tuesday, many did so with reluctance, voicing their displeasure at a campaign season marred by attack ads and heated rhetoric. With one of the nastiest Maine elections in memory just ended, it may not seem like the state's Code of Election Ethics made much of a difference. Although the code did not stop candidates from attacking their opponents, the document, signed by all those running for federal office and the Blaine House, gave the public and the media a means to question tactics they found unacceptable.

After being selected sixth in the preseason coaches poll, she led her team, made of just eight players at the end of the 2001-2002 campaign, to a respectable fourth-place finish.

He would also fill in the blanks where I could not decipher his handwriting. Before we could complete this project, Jim was hospitalized with the condition that finally …
