Geechee
Geechee refers to a cultural group primarily found in the coastal regions of the southeastern United States, particularly in areas like Georgia and South Carolina. The term is often associated with the descendants of enslaved Africans who developed a unique language, known as Gullah, which incorporates elements from various African languages, English, and other influences.
The Geechee people are known for their rich traditions, including music, storytelling, and culinary practices. Their heritage reflects a blend of African, Native American, and European influences, contributing to a distinct cultural identity that emphasizes community, resilience, and a deep connection to the land and sea.
