About Houma, Louisiana
Houma is the largest city in and the parish seat of Terrebonne Parish in the U.S. state of Louisiana. Land claimed for the Houma Indians by the Spanish was not recognized by the United States after the Louisiana Purchase. Houma and the surrounding communities are a blend of French, Native, Cajun, African, and Creole influences. Initially, the area was colonized by French and Spanish who made their way south through Bayou Lafourche. (Wikipedia)
