**What is Gullah??

The Gullah region once extended North to the Cape Fear area off the coast of North Carolina and South, near Jacksonville, off the coast of Florida.  Today the Gullah live in the Low Country region of South Carolina and Georgia, which includes the Sea Islands and coastal plains.  These African-American Gullah people and their language are also called Geechee.  Some believe that the term Geechee is related to the Ogeechee River near our historic city of Savannah.  The Gullah people preserve their culture and heritage more than any other African-American community in the United States.  They speak an English-based Creole language containing many African loanwords and significant influences from African languages in grammar and sentence structure.  Gullah storytelling, cuisine, music, folk beliefs, crafts, farming and fishing traditions all exhibit strong influences from West and Central African cultures.
