Mixed Blood Peoples

From the museum's perspective, all mixed blood peoples have cause to celebrate the best of their heritage and culture without fear of the disdain or pejorative views of others. We respect and welcome them as part of the fabric of the self-defined people of our nation. Some of these groups include the Dominickers (Florida panhandle), Cajans (Mobile and Washington counties in Alabama--not the better known Cajuns of Louisiana), the Dead Lake People (Gulf and Calhoun counties in Florida), Redbones (Rapides and Vernon parishes in Louisiana), among many others. If you would like to add a group or more information please email our Curator at bakermuseum@aol.com
