598. Liz Ellis, Part 2.
598. Part 2 of our conversation with Liz Ellis about The
Great Power of Small Nations. Ellis (Peoria) tells the stories of the many
smaller Native American nations that shaped the development of
the Gulf South. Based on extensive archival research and oral
histories, Ellis’s narrative chronicles how diverse Indigenous
peoples—including Biloxis, Choctaws, Chitimachas, Chickasaws,
Houmas, Mobilians, and Tunicas—influenced and often challenged
the growth of colonial Louisiana. The book centers on questions
of Native nation-building and international diplomacy, and it
argues that Native American migration and practices of offering
refuge to migrants in crisis enabled Native nations to survive
the violence of colonization. Elizabeth N. Ellis (Peoria Tribe
of Indians of Oklahoma) is Associate Professor of History at
Princeton University.
The oldest play about Louisiana, author James Workman wrote it
as a celebration of the Louisiana Purchase. Now it is back in
print for the first time in 220 years. Order your copy today!

2024 Port Barre Cracklin' Festival
Got Graton?
November 7-10, 2024
129 Park St.
Port Barre, LA 70577
Serving as the main annual fundraiser for the Port Barre Lions
Club, the Port Barre Cracklin Festival was first held in 1985.
This original gathering was a quaint one day celebration held
at the boat launch near the intersection of 3rd Street, Bayou
Road and Boggs Street. Offering a small selection of rides and
games, a couple vendor booths and the essential Cracklin
Cookoff, this introductory festival boasted a couple hundred
attendees. Since that fateful start over 30 years ago the Port
Barre Cracklin Festival has evolved into a major cultural and
social event for both the city of Port Barre and St. Landry
Parish as a whole, attended by thousands of locals and
tourists each year.
