Communiqué on the Continuity of Acadian Sovereignty

Issued by the Office of the Queen of Acadie

Date: September 30, 2025

Preamble

For over three centuries, the Acadian people have endured dispossession, deportation, and dispersal. Since the fall of Port-Royal in 1710 and the cession of Acadie to Great Britain by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, the Acadian nation has existed in diaspora—without recognized government, yet never extinguished. The survival of Acadian culture, identity, and language is itself a form of unbroken sovereignty.

Historical Context

• In 1710, the colonial administration of New France in Acadie fell to British arms.

• In 1713, Acadie was ceded by France without the consent of its people, a violation of their inherent right to self-determination.

• From 1755–1764, the Acadian population was forcibly deported during Le Grand Dérangement, a crime against humanity that scattered the people of Acadie worldwide.

• Despite the absence of a territorial state, Acadian families, parishes, and cultural institutions maintained continuity of identity, serving as de facto vessels of national sovereignty.

Restoration of Government

On September 27, 2025, the Acadian people, through the Universal Declaration of Acadie and the Organic Law of Acadie, restored the institutional framework of national self-determination.

The Queen of Acadie (Marie-Soleil Seshat Landry) has assumed the role of Head of State and Supreme Guardian of Acadian Identity, Memory, and Unity, serving as a transitional steward until the democratic election of a National Assembly of Acadie.

A referendum and first general election are scheduled for August 3, 2026 (in time for the results on Fête Nationale des Acadiens on August 15, 2026), at which time permanent authority will be vested in the elected Assembly, marking the first representative Acadian government since the fall of Port-Royal.

Legal Basis

1. Continuity of Nationhood: The Acadian people were never lawfully extinguished as a nation; their rights survived colonial conquest and deportation.

2. Right to Self-Determination: Under international law (UN Charter, ICCPR, ICESCR), all peoples have the right to determine their political status and pursue their cultural development.

3. Foundational Documents of Acadie (2025): These provide the constitutional framework for governance, citizenship, and institutions, giving the Acadian Nation standing as a self-declared sovereign cultural polity.

Declaration

The Acadian Nation affirms that its sovereignty, though interrupted in territorial administration, has never been relinquished. The events of 2025–2026 constitute not the creation of a new polity, but the reassertion of continuity with the historic Acadian government of 1604–1710, carried forward in diaspora until its formal restoration today.

Nous survivons. Nous résistons. Nous vivons.

Signed,

Marie-Soleil Seshat Landry

Queen of Acadie & Supreme Guardian of Acadian Identity, Memory, and Unity
