	Folklife in the Florida Parishes: Overview
		The major in-migration to the Florida Parishes was British-American in the 19th century: Tidewater English from Virginia and the Carolinas into the cotton plantations of the Felicianas; and Scotch-Irish, by way of the mid-South areas of Georgia and Mississippi into the piney woods of Washington, St. Helena, and Tangipahoa.
		In front of the Anglo planters and farmers moved the Acolapissa, the major Native-American group of the pre-settlement era--now probably mixed with the Houmas in the Terrebonne Parish to the southwest--and the Choctaw, a few of whom remain along the bayous of the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
		In the Florida Parishes today, as in the rest of Louisiana, many of the traditions practiced for centuries risk falling victim to the spread of the Sunbelt lifestyle.
