<P> The Federation des Associations de Familles Acadiennes of New Brunswick and the Société Saint - Thomas d'Aquin of Prince Edward Island has resolved that December 13 each year shall be commemorated as "Acadian Remembrance Day" to commemorate the sinking of the Duke William and the nearly 2000 Acadians deported from Ile - Saint Jean who perished in the North Atlantic from hunger, disease and drowning in 1758 . The event has been commemorated annually since 2004 and participants mark the event by wearing a black star . </P> <P> Today, there are cartoons featuring Acadian characters and an Acadian show named Acadieman . </P> <P> In 1847, American writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published Evangeline, an epic poem loosely based on the events surrounding the 1755 deportation . The poem became an American classic, and contributed to a rebirth of Acadian identity in both Maritime Canada and in Louisiana . </P> <P> In the early 20th century, two statues were made of Evangeline, one in St. Martinville, Louisiana and the other in Grand - Pré, Nova Scotia, which both commemorate the Expulsion . Robbie Robertson wrote a popular song based on the Acadian Expulsion titled Acadian Driftwood, which appeared on The Band's 1975 album, Northern Lights--Southern Cross . </P>
