I read an academic work by Dr. Saliha Belmessous, a scholar of colonization, assimilation, and empire. She has written specifically about the French-Native assimilation project that occurred in the New France colonies in New York and French Canada. I am descended from this population through one grandparent, and the parent on that line raised me with the cultural values, ideas, and stories of the women who married into this project and preserved their culture in spite of official governmental attempts to stamp it out. The paper is available on google as well. "Assimilation and Racialism in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century French Colonial Policy." Dr. Belmessous is a senior research fellow at the University of New South Wales. For more information on my personal ethnic, cultural, religious, and llnguistic background, please see my essay series on Substack, "Proud to be a Remix." Welcome to Exulansic's preferred topics.
