Chezzetcook, on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore, has a fascinating history. Despite being largely cut off from the rest of the Acadian world from the time of the Great Expulsion in 1763, the French-speaking community around Chezzetcook maintained its language, customs, and sense of self. Although the use of French declined rapidly in the 20th century, it is experiencing a resurgence over the past few decades.
