Ethnic Chiac Acadian (or of the region of
Acadia) are a specific mixed race or creole ethnicity that resides primarily in the coastal south-east region of New Brunswick, They speak a distinctive Creole language, also named
Chiac (yet some non-chiac Acadians or French of the region may also speak the language). The word 'Acadian' in the name 'Chiac Acadian' is a demonym for the region of l'Acadie.
The Chiac Acadians also have specific ethnic Chiac surnames.
The Chiac Acadians origins or ancestries are primarily of Native Indigenous , Acadian (early French settlers of Acadia), Iberian or also known as South French/Spanish and African by co-mingling and integrating with the Black Loyalists (or Black Nova Scotians) which some migrated to New Brunswick, into the
Chiac Acadian community of coastal southeast New Brunswick, in the
1780's. The Chiac Acadians also have some genetic ancestries inherited from their oppressors and colonizers, which is the root cause for a lot of Chiac Acadians being of lighter complexion or Light skin and features.
