communitIES, culture and land are disappearing in South Louisiana. Some because of the other — when there is no land, there can’t be communities and culture.

To preserve the history, culture and traditions of these lost communities, Garde Voir Ci began a series in spring 2020 capturing the stories of the people that lived in these distinct places in South Louisiana. Places like Grand Bayou, Isle de Jean Charles, Cheniere Caminada, Last Island and the Houma Nation.
