As far as I know there isn't any. If you are speaking of the right hand
buttons, you have to play "cross" to get the minor mode, like ABCDEFG for A
minor on C accordion. On a C Cajun accordion the left hand only has C G
major chords.

Since it's diatonic, you will be limited to only certain minor chords
that are possible in the right hand. On a "C" instrument, for
example, you would not be able to play a C-minor chord in the RH
because you have no Eb. There are, however, minor triads that
naturally occur in the C scale. You can get Dm, Em and Am. C, F and
G give you a major chord only. You can also get a B diminished chord
if that is of any use.

The only minor chord you can play on the right hand side of a normal C Cajun
accordion is DFA.

Let us at least grant him the B diminished.

Well, to be fair, diatonic playing involves a _lot_ of trickery, like
using the bass off-beat and breaking chords into constituents, in order
to wiggle in harmonic details that actually can't actually quite be
played.

It is the realm of fakery, though to be fair, the amount of fakery
possible on a single row diatonic is not all too impressive.

Oops. I didn't realize that the Cajun-type accordions were
bisonoric. I was speaking strictly from a diatonic scale standpoint.
You're right. Only the Dm and Bo are possible, as far as triads are
concerned.

What an interesting instrument. It's almost a concertina/accordion
hybrid.

In the same sense as a monochord is a hybrid of a guitar and a piano.
