The Gullah (or Geechee) people are descendants of West and Central Africans enslaved in the coastal areas of the Southeastern U.S., known for preserving unique African traditions, arts, and their own English-based Creole language, spoken nowhere else in America, with strong roots in the Lowcountry and Sea Islands of SC, GA, NC, and FL, retaining rich cultural practices centered on rice cultivation, basketry, and distinctive spiritual beliefs, forming a vibrant heritage despite historical marginalization, now celebrated through initiatives like the Gullah Geechee Corridor Commission.
