    "title": "Creole Defined in an Ethnohistorical Context: Jean Lafitte National Historical Park",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This article explores the complex and multifaceted meanings of the term Creole within the cultural, linguistic, and biological history of Louisiana and the broader Mississippi Delta. Larry Van Horn examines how Creole identity evolved through centuries of cultural interaction among diverse populations, including French, Spanish, African, Asian, and Native American groups. The term “Creole” is analyzed through three primary lenses: as a cultural label for colonial-born descendants of European settlers; as a linguistic term referring to contact languages, although rarely applied in the Louisiana context; and as a biological designation for racial mixing. The article also highlights the rich expressive traditions—such as music, festivals, crafts, and architecture—maintained by various ethnic groups. Van Horn underscores the role of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park in preserving and interpreting these dynamic local cultures through partnerships with community stakeholders.",
