One of the more subtle Louisiana references is the name of Ray's love, Evangeline. The name refers to the poem "Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, about an Acadian girl's search for her lost love. The poem is held dear by the Louisiana descendants of the Acadians ("Cajuns"), people of French descent who were forcibly relocated during a Canadian war in the mid-1700s from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (aka Acadia) to Louisiana, often being permanently separated from their families in the process.
