Cajun Harvest of Heritage

“In the heart of the bayou, history finds its match.”

Bayou Holiday Series – Indian Day Edition

When Aponi Sneed arrives in Grand Cane, Louisiana, she carries more than a suitcase—she carries generations of unanswered questions. Her late grandmother, Woya, a proud Cherokee woman who defied the times to marry a Black man, left behind a trail of whispers and half-told stories. Now, Aponi is determined to piece together the life Woya built in this quiet Cajun town—a life full of love, resilience, and roots that run deeper than the bayou itself.

What she doesn’t expect is Wohali Long, the charming grandson of Tallulah, Woya’s dearest friend. Wohali knows these waters, these woods, this heritage—but when he meets Aponi, it feels like destiny calling across generations. As the two dig through family history, celebrating Indian Day beneath the drumbeats and fires of tradition, they find themselves entwined in a new story—one of healing, belonging, and a love strong enough to bridge the past and the future.

In a town where heritage is honored like a holy gift and every heartbeat carries a story, Aponi and Wohali will discover that sometimes the greatest treasure you find… is love.
