Settler by a bayou (5)

I believe the answer is:

cajun

(Other definitions for cajun that I've seen before include "Louisianian descended from Canadian immigrants" , "Relating to a minority culture of Louisiana" , "Louisianan of French Canadian descent" , "spicy food like this?" , "Kind of spicy food" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
