One of the pioneering settlers in Chéticamp, Acadian Jeanne Dugas, was featured by Highlands National Park on International Women's Day this year. Casilda Deveaux wrote a book about Jeanne Dugas' life. Our Airbnb is named for Casilda's other book, Sévérine.

In recognition of International Women’s Day, we’re introducing you to Jeanne Dugas, whose story demonstrates the resilience of the Acadian people. Jeanne was born in Louisbourg in 1731. During the 1740s and 1750s, she travelled between Louisbourg, Grand Pre, Port Toulouse (St.Peter’s, NS), and Remshic (Wallace NS) where she helped Acadian families cross to Ile St Jean (PEI) during the Grand Derangement (Great Deportation).

By 1758, we know she was back in Louisbourg because her husband was part of the militia during the siege. After the fall of Fortress, Jeanne and her young family followed a group of Compagnies Franches soldiers, Mi'kmaq, and other Acadians to New Brunswick. The group survived a harsh winter without supplies by eating cattle hide and beaver hide.

That spring, they were taken prisoner by English forces and held captive at Chignecto and Halifax.

Jeanne and her family were released and returned to Cape Breton following the Treaty of 1763. But they were not safe from displacement. Their coastal village of Arichat was repeatedly raided by American privateers during the Revolutionary War. So they moved to les Iles de la Madeleine, then the Baie des Chaleurs, and finally Cheticamp, on the west coast of Cape Breton Island, where her descendants continue to reside.

This remarkable tale of mobility and survival was recorded in Jeanne’s own words in 1812 by a visiting Quebec Bishop. She finished her narrative simply, saying “et ne s'être jamais couchée sans souper” (and never going to bed without supper)”. In 2016 Jeanne Dugas was recognized as a person of national historical significance.
