Culture and Identity in Upper Louisiana: Defining the "Creole Corridor."

The colloquium "Defining the Creole Corridor" aims to explore the historical, cultural, and social connections along the Mississippi River, from Quebec to New Orleans, focusing on the unique intersection of French, Creole, Native American, and African cultures. This interdisciplinary event will delve into the rich heritage of the region, with particular emphasis on the role of communities like Sainte-Geneviève, Missouri, in shaping the cultural landscape of early French colonial America. Through panel discussions, presentations, and interactive sessions, the colloquium will examine the lasting impact of the "Creole Corridor" on language, identity, and regional development.
