This book is a tribute to the Walloon people who left Belgium 150 years ago and kept there their ancestors' language, songs, tales, recipes and way of life. It is also, for everyone, to learn how these farmers were able to cross the Ocean, to build log cabins in the wilderness, to establish friendly contacts with the Indians, to obtain civil rights, etc. It is at last a thought to the matter of this heritage safeguard and transmission through written and audiovisual means. Ce livre se veut un hommage à ceux qui, à plus de 5000 kilomètres de la Wallonie, ont, durant 150 ans, gardé la langue, les chants, les récits, les savoir-faire et les modes de vie de leurs ancêtres. Il se veut aussi un outil pour ceux qui, sans attache particulière avec ces familles, souhaitent savoir comment, en 1853, des fermiers brabançons ou namurois pouvaient traverser l'Atlantique, se bâtir une cabane de rondins en plein bois, lier des contacts amicaux avec les Indiens, conquérir des droits, etc. Il se veut enfin une réflexion sur l'importance de sauvegarder et de transmettre ce patrimoine, à la fois par l'écriture et par l'audiovisuel.
