Learn more about the Gullah Geechee people, their language, traditions and their cuisine. The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Africans who were enslaved on the plantations of America’s lower Atlantic coast. Many came from the rice-growing region of West Africa, and the nature of their enslavement on isolated island and coastal plantations created a unique culture with deep African retentions that are clearly visible today in the Gullah Geechee people’s distinctive arts, crafts, foodways, music, and language.
