Need help with an idea: Cajun Claws (OOC)

Hello all,

I am still working from time to time on my Fallout Texas concept from time to time but I have become stuck on a couple of issues such as factions and would like to ask people here if they could perhaps give suggestions.
The Cajun Claws were originally the Bloody Claws, a raider/slaver faction but I thought it might be fun if this is a group of slaver that originate from Louisiana, having come to the Texas Wasteland to expand their slaving business.

I have been thinking that they are related to the Pre War Cajuns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun) and a poster here also suggested that I combine it with Louisiana voodoo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Voodoo).
While family and same origins would be important the Claws would not be tribals, rather they mostly use their voodoo culture knowledge to inspire fear amongst outsiders, especially the more ignorant wastelanders who are susceptible for this.
Unlike the Caesar's Legion they would also use pre war weaponry and artefacts like Mesmetrons to capture slaves.

I am not that familiar with Louisiana and Cajun culture and I hope people here could perhaps give me some more details and background.
 
I guess I should have asked, are there any people here from Louisiana or who know about Louisiana voodoo?

I am thinking that the Cajun Claws would for example dress up somewhat tribal like, body pain of skeletons and such for its psychological impact on people but I am not sure if that really fits and if it would work in the Fallout world.

The wikipedia article mentions voodoo queens, so perhaps the Cajun Claws would be lead by a female slaver?
