Established in 1996 The Franco-American
Women's Institute
The Franco-American Women's Institute is an organization of women who gather together as a force for the specific purpose of promoting Franco-American, ethnic women's voices. The Franco-American Women's Institute is also an archival place or a recording place. The women come together in many forms of presentation, body, soul and creative spirit, as Franco-American women--Québécois, Acadian, Métis, Mixed Blood, French Canadian, 'Cajun, Creole and Huguenot--in a way which encourages them to be voiced while collecting a record of their and their maman's existence. Daughters, mamans, and mémères. Franco-Americans
are the ancestors of an important and large genealogical group located
on the North American continent. These women live in pockets of communities
throughout the Northeast and elsewhere. Here in Maine several communities
have been chez-nous for Franco-Americans for more than the past 150 years.
Unfortunately, you cannot actively participate with FAWI on Facebook as the site has been hacked by a criminal who thinks women do not have a right to have a voice.
