Kreooli kultuur
The Flag of
Louisiana Creoles represents the cultural melting pot
that is the Louisiana Creoles. The first flag was hand
stitched by Bergeron's sister, Delores Kay Conque of
Carencro, La. By adopting the Creole flag, C.R.E.O.
L.E., Inc. upholds its mission statement, "to identify,
preserve and promote the numerous aspects of the
Creole culture in southwest Louisiana. Today there are Creole populations in New Orleans, St.
James Parish, Isle Brevelle, Cane River, Opelousas, Lafayette and other Louisiana towns. The
Creole flag celebrates the mixed lineage, culture and religion of these Louisiana Creoles. The
upper left section, a white fleur de lis on a blue field, represents Louisiana's French heritage. On
the lower left and upper right sections, West African heritage is represented by the Mali Republic
National tricolor flag (green, yellow and red) and the Senegal Republic National flag (green,
yellow and red)
