Ep. 7 - "Discussions with a Cajun Traiteur: Revival and Renewal with Colby Hébert aka the Cajun Hatter

In this month's episode of The Herbal Journey podcast, we dive into the Acadian culture and traditions of the Cajun Healer or Traiteur in French. Traiteur's have been treating the ill and injured around the bayous since the eighteenth century with this generational practice of faith healing.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of meeting with Colby Hébert, a New Iberia, LA native and generational Traiteur since the age of 11.Colby Hébert has always had a deep pride and passion for his Louisiana roots. Since 2016, he has used his custom hat business "The Cajun Hatter" as an avenue to express and preserve elements of Cajun and Creole culture. Currently, he has shifted his preservation efforts toward the healing tradition, which he has long been a part. In this episode, we discuss the traditions of this Cajun and Creole inspired method of faith healing. In his talk, "The Cajun Healer: Revival and Renewal", Hébert will share his perspectives on how we can honor tradition while embracing the changes necessary to sustain it.

We had the pleasure of meeting Colby and his wife on our Herbal Journey and visiting his custom hat shop in downtown Lafayette, LA. The shop is so neat, the hats are as amazing as the process done to make them, and the Southern hospitality is never short here. We enjoyed sips of his favorite rum from old English tea cups, as the pirates would, as we shared discussions around healing traditions, native herbs, hat making, and more. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy this episode of the Herbal Journey Podcast.
