Acadian (Cajun) Flag
Back of card reads: "BIENVENUE IN ACADIANA!
Welcome to Acadiana!
Since 1965, the official Louisiana Acadian flag has been flown throughout Acadiana - the 22-parish area of south Louisiana populated by the "Cajun" people. The 3 silver fleur de lis on a blue field symbolizes the French origin; the gold tower on the red field symbolizes Spain, which ruled Louisiana at the time of the Arcadian migration; and the gold star on the white field represents [the] Virgin Mary, under the title of "Our Lady of the Assumption," Patroness of the Acadians. The star also represents the participation of the Acadians in the American Revolution, as soldiers under Galvez."
