This sort of documentary was made in 1941 (as stated in the opening titles). This short film depicts the culture of old Louisiana, including such aspects as slavery on cotton and cane plantations, the prevailing French language, Mississippi River trade, education, religion and music.
The film focuses on the elite and (wealthy) white families, such as plantation owners and business men. Sadly enough the delicate matters e.g. about how coloured people were treated in those days, are apparently insignificant. This documentary however (even when it’s not really an accurate survey of history) might still be an interesting image of the time.

The title is sarcasm…
The Iroquois-Mohawks claim the French stole their land. Mohawks try to exterminate the Huron and they now live on stolen land. This video is not against the Mohawks, but against TeenaPoshy racist anti-french videos. Hurons know their history…
Long live the French-Indian alliance!
We are brother and we will always be!
The genocide of the Huron peoples by the Iroquois – Mohawks. The fall of Huronia enabled the Iroquois to concentrate their subsequent war efforts on the French settlements in the St. Lawrence Valley. The wars were extremely brutal and are considered one of the bloodiest series of conflicts in the history of North America. The resultant enlargement of Iroquois territory realigned the tribal geography of North America, destroying several large tribal confederacies including the Hurons, Neutrals, Eries, and Susquehannock and pushing some eastern tribes west of the Mississippi River.

Recorded June 2, 2004. The video begins with my cruise down the Mississippi River on the Steamboat Natchez. After the cruise I walk through Jackson Square and into the French Quarter. The video continues at sunset as I walk along the Mississippi River and back into the French Quarter. It’s now after dark and I capture the sights and sounds of the infamous Bourbon Street.
