OPUS 1 ~ Terrebonne Parish Cajun Country

Houma is Unique Amongst Cities. Originally the Houmas Indian Tribe ruled Cajun Country. That’s right, Cajun Country. The French Acadians cohabitated with the Houmas Indian Tribe, Eventually, the Jesuits Scammed the Indians Out of Their Land. The Jesuits introduced Sugar Cane into South Louisiana and put those Injuns to Work, Chopping Down Sugar Cane on the Catholic-oriented Plantations. 

Houma was originally Houmas Indian Land. Now, The Native Houmas People still have a Blood Feud with The White Man. Our Government designated lower Parishes adjacent the Gulf of Mexico as Nationally Recognized Indian Reservations. A very dangerous place to fish from the bank or cast-net shrimp from Public Navigable Waterways. The Indians Do Not Believe there is  such a thing as a Public Waterway. They Believe The Houmas Indian Tribe OWNS The Public Waterways, and extreme violence continued from the era that the Jesuits enslaved The Indians and The White Man Invaded the Land the Indians Believed was their own, The Entirety of South Louisiana. 

The White Man’s corruption thrived in this Land of the Unknown. Terrebonne Parish, Lafourche Parish, Assumption Parish and Saint Mary Parish  The Native Americans of South Louisiana actually believe they ownSouth Louisia in its entirety, which leads me to my point: Houma was, is and will be Dixie Mafia controlled come hell or high water. Fox News’ Laura Engels call South Louisiana “REAL AMERICA”, and Ms. Engels is Dead-On-the-Money Correct. We make our unwritten Laws, Abide by Them, or Reap the Whirlwind. 

In 1985, I knew two wayward sorts who Broke an unwritten Rule, unaware of the gravitas of their actions, such as Humiliating and Degrading a Mafia Psycopath with a Law Degree that is the Personal Attorney of Terrebonne Parish’s Sheriff Rozands (Rest in Mexico), who was so Mobbed Up it was not even funny. “I saw Sheriff Rozands having coffee with a known Mafia Chieftain as I walked to school as a child. The two Mob Bosses always sat in front of the window of a Downtown Cafe, so everyone could see them together. 

The Federal Government finally Indicted Sheriff Rozands on 51 Counts of Assorted Felonies. Sheriff Rozands died of cancer, and was Waked and Buried in a Closed Coffin before the First Trial. 

Imagine that! 

I call that , “Dying Right on Time!” then “The Rumors Started Running Through The Cajun Grapevine at Lightening Speed.” [ Rozands faked his death and escaped to his ranch in Mexico. ] 

“In my opinion, the rumor is a total and absolute farce.” I know people. Coroner affiliated people, Law Enforcement people, Regular People and Abnormal people. “That is just the way the cookie crumbles”, as my Daddy used to say. 

Cajun Country is my Home, and I shall Die in South Louisiana, unless God has other plans for me. “You just never know what God is going to do!” Just Take it One Day at a Time, Relax, Slow Down and Roll with the Punches. Life just Stings a bit, at times! 

But, The Shining Times are the Spice of Life, and Oh, How we Shined in the Land of Milk & Honey, and Honey, the Money! And them Poor Coonass folks who have not a dime, but will give you their last shirt off of their back. No kidding in the least! That is our Heritage, that is our Way. We take care of our own, and ban the rest from breathing our air! 

“We just likes to live dat away, ya’ know?” 

There is one unwritten Rule that is a Law. NO VIOLENCE! “We have Swamp Rougarous and Alligators infesting this place.” 

LOCALS ONLY!  

MUCH TOO DANGEROUS DOWN HERE, CHER BEBES! 

We don’t want nobody getting hurt in Cajun Country. 

We are Festive people, not infesting people like......uh......never mind.
