Pierre Solet: Houma Indian Heritage and Louisiana French | Louisiane #8

In this episode of Louisiane, we sit down with Pierre Solet of the United Houma Nation for a wide-ranging conversation about language, place, and memory in coastal Louisiana. Pierre reflects on growing up speaking French at home and learning English only once he entered school, an experience shaped by his childhood in Grand Caillou and years spent in an Indian-only elementary school from first through ninth grade. He traces a working life rooted in Terrebonne Parish—from working at a local shipyard to running a grocery store—and speaks candidly about life in Dulac, a community transformed repeatedly by hurricanes and coastal change. Throughout the conversation, Pierre returns to what has endured: family, language, and the importance of preserving Indian heritage in Louisiana.
