I’m Native and Jewish. There’s actually a line of Sephardi Jews among the Acadians and Acadian FrenchIndians. One of the first families that settled in Acadie / Mi'kmaki in the 1600s was descended from a Sephardi family that fled Spain because of the Inquisition, settled in France, and then ended up crossing the Atlantic with the Acadians. I think we also have a branch in Louisiana, probably with Afro-Haitian and Choctaw people in the mix as well.
