Brayons are a francophone people inhabiting the area in and around Edmundston, New Brunswick, Canada, including some parts of northern Maine. In French, they are called les Brayons or feminine les Brayonnes, and both terms are also used as adjectives, as in Brayon culture, or la culture brayonne. Given their location in New Brunswick, a Canadian Maritime province, they are considered by many to be Acadians; however, some residents relate more to Quebec and have strong roots and ancestral ties to Quebec.
