Both of my parents were born there. I remember, as a young boy, learning French with help from the only other boy in town that spoke English. I also remember the trouble that English speakers from away had when they were ignored by locals when asking for help. I like to think of it as just another extension of Appalachia, where outsiders are looked upon with suspicion.
