Edutainment

At Creole West Productions, our edutainment projects are delivered in a variety of formats including Web-based, Publications and Multimedia. The soul of the projects involve meticulous historical research in order to liberate the historical record.

This research relies heavily on official and original records, specifically international, national, state, and local archives—both public and private. Further, meticulous study and use of secondary published and unpublished sources supplement use of the original records. The intimate experience of the history is enhanced by compilation and documentation of oral histories. From this varied examination, the historical record is compiled and the experience naturally unveiled.

Creole West Productions' projects are based on Louisiana, her history and place in the larger spectrum of historical events. In addition, current projects reveal the histories of the individual parishes in Louisiana, their overall place in Louisiana history and beyond.

The study of Louisiana history crosses many cultural, economic, and political arenas emerged from a vast geographic base in the heart of middle North America. The prehistoric era gives us a foundation of geological development and original people. The recorded history weaves in and out of colonial France and Spain, threading into the fabric of two hundred years as a democracy with the United States. The intrigue lies within the steadfastness of its unique cultures, reflecting a facet of the diverse heritage in America today.

One of her relatively misunderstood cultures - Louisiana Creoles - plays a vital role in the story of Louisiana as its indigenous colonial blend of peoples and traditions. Louisiana Creoles are people born in the colony of Louisiana - free or slave. Those who identify as Louisiana Creoles today are descendants of ancestors born in the colonial period of Louisiana and have inherited the culture.
