The logo for the
Boudreaux / Boudreau Family Association is divided into four parts by
a gold cross in the center which represents Catholic and Christian
faith. The two flags represented on the logo are the Acadian flags of
Louisiana and Canada. The Acadian flag of Louisiana is a tricolor flag
with three fleurs de lys on a blue field which represents France, the
maternal country of our ancestors; the gold castle of Castile on a red
field represents Spain. It was Spain that came to the aid of the
Acadians exiled in France from 1755 to 1785; and the gold star on a
white field represents the patroness of the Acadians, Our Lady of the
Assumption.
The Acadian flag of Canada, principally the Acadians of New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia, is a tricolor flag of red, white, and blue like the
French Flag but with a gold star representing Our Lady of the
Assumption on the blue field.
The two other quarters of the logo have symbols of Acadiana. The
Evangeline Oak represents the strength of the Acadians and their
determination to survive the terrible ordeal of exile inflicted upon
them by the British. The magnolia flower represents the peaceful ways
and gentleness of our people.
