    Creole is someone mixed Cajun and Black or Native American. Cajuns are Whites 

    with roots in Atlantic Canada, specifically modern day New Brunswick / Nova Scotia

    and who came over during the Great Expulsion (Le Grand Derangement in French).

    Source(s): Having been to Louisiana, friends that are either Cajun or Creole.

    In present Louisiana, Creole generally means a person or people of mixed colonial French, African American and Native American ancestry. The term Black Creole refers to freed slaves from Haiti and their descendants. ... “Cajun” is derived from “Acadian” which are the people the modern day Cajuns descend from.
