I'm Gullah and grew up in a Gullah community on Johns Island, South Carolina. Thank you for highlighting my people because not much is known of us outside South Carolina and Georgia. I live in Miami now and most people assume I'm from the Caribbean when they hear my accent. Then I have to go about giving a long history lesson about my people every time
Chucktown baby...shout out to JI..bohicket
Adebodi eh fambol... Hunnuh kaak e teet
We have a whole community in Trinidad that are descendant of your ppl...they came here after the war with the British...
Look for their story on u tube
The Merikins..they still grow hill rice..and it is exported to the Gullahs in the Carolinas..
@@debbiemarquis3231 oh wow..I never knew that..I'm from Charleston south Carolina..
@Kamar G yea i head that his mother is
I have always been fascinated and somewhat jealous of the Gullah people being able to retain their heritage and culture. Great video!!
Same here.
There's more ppl scattered on the mainland that are defendants of Gullah Geechee ppl and dont even know it.... Simply because being Gullah was so rejected up north especially ... Yankees wutn't havein it either. So 2 generation s later ... Its pretty much forgotten... And now trying to convince those same ppl its ok now...its a real thing. And telling them the truth about their history is like pushing a bolder up hill...
They continue to teach it. No matter what. Thats how we hold on to our heritage. Keep teaching it to the children or it will die.
Me too!
Many of our ppl come from gullah ppl. The thing is as we integrated into mainstream Society those type of things were lost because often they were told that they were bad I.e the language and stuff like that.
This is so amazing. I am from the Gola ethnic group in Liberia
One of the theories about the origin of the name Gullah is that it comes from Gola, and similarly it's thought that "Geechee" may have come from Kissi. Sierra Leone and the bordering areas of Guinea-Conakry and Liberia was apparently the most common origin for people in that area and the ancestors of Gullah people, along with the Casamance + Gambia + Guinea-Bissau area. One thing that supports this is that Lorenzo Dow Turner who was mentioned in the video found during his research Gullah people that could recite songs and parts of stories and do simple counting in Mende, Vai and Fulani languages
I didn't even know about any of this. This so amazing I'm liberian kru tribe
Fun Fact: Joe Frazier was a Gullah Geechee man, and won the fight of the century against Muhammad Ali.
Interesting smokin joe is a legend
Clarence Thomas is Gullah as well.
I had no idea.
Yep joe Frazier was really from Beaufort South Carolina but hailed from philly...Bumpy Johnson was from Charleston south Carolina..but was the Godfather of Harlem
Muhammad Ali was great however it's still quite impressive that Joe Frazier managed to beat him.
It's great to see the queen of the Gullah nation Queen Quet, in this video. I remember being at the Moja Arts festival in Charleston, and when she came on the grounds, we stood for her. She's honored in the Gullah community.
I remember that there was a kids show in the 1990s called Gullah Gullah Island...Binyah Binyah
🐸💯
Kan
The man who made the show was a Gullah. It was partly inspired by his childhood on one of the Sea Islands (in the Gullah coastal region).
Binyah Binyah son of Yah.
Binyah binyah pollywog he’s our favorite frog! Lol I used to love that show. Ron was the father can’t remember the moms name. Nice black community. So refreshing and heart warming to see
Yes!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for covering my beautiful Gullah people (we are in SC). Sadly yes, because of Hilton Head's attraction, people are trying to dilute the culture, infiltrate and commercialize; and it irks my soul to see "Historic" Bluffton, or "Historic" anything- where the essence of what was created in love, turns into dollar signs for these outsiders.
We are working dilligently to preserve our land and our people however, and any spotlight we receive on the beauty of the culture is so appreciated.
Ancestors be with you my brother ❤🖤💚✊🏾
Let’s make a goal for ourselves and beat our ancestors. They were great but we should be greater
I don’t think you worded that right.
Fof Fofana They survived slavery, created a new culture, and managed to pass on humanity and what they could of Africa to us, as well as managed to gradually change the culture of their oppressors. I don’t know that we’ll get the opportunity to be as great as that, let alone greater. We can honor their greatness, though, with our efforts and aspirations.
Well said....the purpose of living in the past 2 to remind and build 4 the future
Through all that abuse, our ancestors managed to stay alive so that we could live. Without our African Ancestors, the cultures of the America's wouldn't be as amazing. Much respect to our ancestors before slavery, and Jim Crow Era.
@@phantomelite426 aint like he said " fukk em". The message ws ultimately clear enough so yeah ...it was
Kissi Tribe 🇱🇷🇸🇱🇬🇳 our people was captured and taken to Trinidad, Cuba, and the Carolinas. If anybody would like to know more about the ethnic group lemme know.
Yea hit me bro.
Taken to just three territories? How so?
Neg Ste. Lucie probably not only those three countries, however when I was doing research those three countries have documents of the slaves that were brought to their lands.
@@NegSteLucie That was likely their original destinations. In the beginning of slavery slaves were taken to lands where their skills would be of use. So they went to areas in Africa that grew rice and sugar cane and took those captives to areas in the Americas that had rice and sugar cane.
Definitely whats ya ig mines is fadda_lp
I got family in Charleston , SC that are geechi. 👑💛✨
Goodle Kissi or Gissi people of Liberia and Sierra Leone. Those are your cousins.
Me too. My great grandmother spoke that geechee talk
@@deandrerey5434 My cousins STILL speak in dialect. My grandma never taught her grandkids, but her siblings taught their kids and grandkids. I wish I understood it.
And Gola tribe
@@bronzedrage my grandma used a lot of their sayings but she never fully spoke it
Yes! A video on my people! My mom's family are Gullah-Geechee of Charleston, SC. We also refer to ourselves with the single moniker, Geechee.
Asè
The Gullah Tribe are one of the groups of people I never knew anything about, very informative. Great content, is there anyway you can do a video about the Garifuna people?
I think he has already done a video exploring the Garifuna peoples of Central America.
Gullah people not Gullah tribe.
@YourNatureBoy27 ain’t like no Amish wtf, more like Louisiana creoles
@YourNatureBoy27 more like Louisiana creoles
@YourNatureBoy27 that second write up is just about fully incorrect
Shout to all the island sc folk who's family is from there. Wadmalaw island Gullah/Geechee origins
Hey dey hunna! 🙋🏾♀️
The part about the baskets was nice but I am most proud of my people not just for retaining language but also not allowing our culture to be erased and physically fighting the oppressors (Seminole Wars) and still retaining some of the land all these years later and having an actual Queen and Nation. I am going to stop now before I tell all our business.♥️
Now yall boy look YAH, we dem boy, we dem boy of The Most High YAHUAH...Right now we are in exile but VERY soon we will return to our ORIGINAL home land. Remember there's no place like home Shalom.
🎯Gullah War❣️Charleston, S.C. Tribe of Judah❣️🎯 We are Jews❣️🦁
Nothing wrong with telling sharing your peoples history.
I am a "fresh water" Geech from GA! Great info.
Gullah here in oklahoma. Places here in Ok like olkmugee, sapulpa, muskogee, Tulsa, washita, are the same names you find in Florida and the Carolinas. Our ancestors were forced to move into Oklahoma which was a barren stretch of land back in the day.
I’m from Oklahoma. Where can i learn more about this?
This is true, my great great grandparents migrated from low country SC to Oklahoma. My great grand father was born there
Gullah is really interesting to me, considering I've heard English described as 3 languages trying to masquerade as one, and Gullah adds even more complexity. Very cool :)
I’m from the low country part of South Carolina and we do talk different.
WHAT DOES GULLAH REALLY MEAN that's a video by WAKE UP JACOB by the way I'm also from around the Charleston area Shalom QUEEN
Gal whey in da low country? I from John's island haha
Hebrew Honey Peace Queen, your screen name made me chuckle lol...
U sum sweet lookin kosher honey
@Kamar G and that is the issue... They tried so hard to keep that info away from us... Now that its out we can rectify that... I always say start with your children... Get them registered in their school as Bilingual and Sea Island Creole is their first language english is their second...this does to things...it helps them on resumes to already know two languages...2 it cuts the cord that took our youth through forced Special Education courses that only held them up from graduation giving them the only other alternative the jail system... We start there and start using our native tongue when we converse with them .and the very videos we're watching now... We need to let them see... And retain it... Let them meet their Queen...Queen Quet ... And their relationship to her as leader ...our Head of State... And then start showing them by example doing business with each other ... If you live in Georgia there is no reason not to atleast open a savings account in our historical Black Owned Bank Citize's Trust Bank.... We can do this
Sadly now these islands are getting bought up and turnt into resorts
DSNCB919 they sure are. It’s sad. There’s a good video on CZcams that goes in depth how the generational land is being sold and purchased to turn into resorts and what not. Smh. Some of the Geechi ppl tho went back to their roots to work with the Ancestors for help!
They obviously are are not allowing for the word to get out... Like me...if i had known my family had land. That was we were about to loose...i would have went there instead of Atl.
@@RaMahUganda I forgot how it was explained but something like alot of those lands are family owned and the kids move away and getting 1 to sign it over overwriting others I forgot but theres a documentary on it.. anyways I love being in the Charleston area kiawah island is sadly a converted resort now but you can tell when you talk to the black ppl there that they are diff when I was at the beach there one told me welcome home this is really ours they took it
Theyre fighting to hold on. They should be landmarks. We know how the gov feels about Black history tho.
Sadly, there's no economic development, so the younger generation is moving away and white folks are moving in...
Wishing you a great Day of Yemenja belatedly, I am a Louisiana Creole myself.
My mother is Louisana creole and my father is Jamaican.
South Carolina 🙌🏾🙌🏾 My great grandparents we from Helen island.. they spoke Gullah language.. many of our Ancestors say they come from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
Happy to know that. I am from sierra Leone too.
Wtf 😂that’s capping most gullah came from Angola 🇦🇴 where did u get result from saying they from Sierra leon u can even tell Angola and gullah they are similiar cuz gullah delivered from angola words
@akakaskie they were taken from both places and other places.
I had the honor of being able to tour the area close to Hilton Head a couple years ago. The coolest thing is that my background is Jamaican and I could understand a lot of what they were saying... close to Jamaican patois enough that at first I thought a waiter was speaking my language. What a beautiful culture! Thanks and big up my bredren 🙏🏾
The Gullahs are more connected with the Bahamas and Barbados.
That's cool!
i learned that my grandmother's father was gullah. from hilton head island and his nickname for my moms when she was little was geechee. thank you for putting this video out there. i want to learn more about my people.
Thank you! My South Carolina Lowcountry folk ❤️ Please do a video on Lowcountry/African burial practices. I was passed over my grandfather’s grave as an infant.
Im from Charleston and I remember growing up people trying to make me feel ashamed of my accent. Thank you for shedding light on our culture.
Shoutout to my Gullah People! I know some of the folks you had pictured!
My family grew up in Charleston and has been here since the 1600s with connections to Louisiana as well. So much of our culture is african. From the food we eat to the language you spoken of and even many of our traditions. I’m happy to see Gullah Geechee folk get recognized for preserving as much of our ancestor’s ways as we could
They have the spirit of the Gola people ❤️ This was amazing research. We’ll be doing more research. ‘Baika’ - Thank you (Gola)
Glad u did this video. I was telling a elder lady about gullah and she didn't even have a clue what I'm talking about I could now show her this video thanks again home team
My great grandad and his side of the family is from Glynn county, Brunswick Georgia. I miss the crab boils we used to do on his land and the beautiful Spanish moss trees. I actually felt bad that I never understood what he was saying or the the culture we were apart of until recently. Much love to all the saltwater and fresh water Gullah Geechee people. We outchea! ✊🏿
Lorenzo Dow Turner also found in the early 19th century that some Gullahs could recite songs and parts of stories and do simple counting in the Mende, Vai and Fulani languages
Yas! Gullah Geechee right here! Charleston, SC

I love this channel ✊🏿
Great work HomeTeam !!!!!
I am unapologetically Gullah with family roots in the northern extent of the corridor in and around Wilmington NC. . Thanks for this video.
I really appreciate your work bro nice video. Nice video this guy is the best right now once again Thanks

Bennetsville, South Carolina and Sandhills, South Carolina
My father's family as well coastal Georgia and South Carolina they mostly live in Central Florida now
A lot of Williams from down there! An interesting thing I've been researching is that Williams is a Welsh name (Wales) and the Welsh were not slaveowners. There's certainly more to discover.
I learn something new every time on this channel, great video

Bon travay mwen frè! LC is similar to Haitian kreyòl
I’m GeeChee I absolutely love this video ya put together bro I beena follower since day one my boi keep up the good work
You should check out the Garifuna people and history of St Vincent And The Grenadines In the Caribbean
My son's father is Garifuna. I'm Gullah Geechee. He should do a video on the Garifuna people too. That would be very interesting.
L01 J Yes I’m very proud of my Homeland ( Yurumein ).
@Siafu Oxala they were exhiled to the islands off the coast of Honduras. I believe the coastal Honduran islands were under British rule. But nonetheless garifuna ma ppl too✊🏾

Thank you for that brother I'm born & raised in Charleston SC. And didn't realize how unique my culture was until I moved Baltimore in 1990. Have been fascinated by my heritage & culture ever since. Thanks for this content. "E real good fa sm1 else to look out fa we!"👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I am grateful for the article 🙏
thank yu!! super informative n easy to understand the history n follow it, i have trouble with focus and this video was great for me! thanks for your work!!
Interesting Another Great One Awesome
Bubba dis nice frfr💪🏾
I was unaware of the Gullah People until just today. A coworker of mine mentioned that his wife is Gullah and proceeded to give me a brief history lesson (he knows I'm a cultural buff). I was intrigued, so here I am, and curious to learn more! I think it's fascinating how some families remain anchored in their historical and cultural identity(ies).
✊🏿 good information ℹ️

Much Appreciation.
I love those people, I visit them often. We understand each other perfectly, I’m from the Caribbean. Love the baskets. Lovely people.
Great video and thank you for all the others. Have you discussed the Jamaican Maroons? I was just briefly told about.
I was doing some delivery work for my uncle's catering business and one of the clients (a pharmaceutical rep) had asked me where I was from (we were in metro Atlanta).
I told her that I'm originally from coastal Georgia. I found out that she had asked because she said she's from Charleston, South Carolina and she could pick up a slight Gullah/Geechie accent from me. She was the first to ever tell me that because usually folks assume I'm not from the south.
I'm not 100% sure if I'm Geechie but I have family that lived in the Sea Islands in the early half o of the 1900s and I grew up using certain words associated with Gullah/Geechie (like calling a butt "boonkey") and I grew up on the coast of GA. I've always suspected that I am.
@Apexone If you and your family are originally from coastal Georgia, you are MOST DEFINITELY Geechie.
Lol yup! I luv dem big boonkeys na!

@@savethestateliberia1529 Thanks for letting me know!
Sure my brother. 👍🏿
Thank you for posting. I am Black American but I have only heard a little bit about Gullah people, mostly from movies and television especially a childhood series called Gullah Gullah Island when I was a child. I have learned much more, thank you for posting. Date Stamp: 16mar21
I did my thesis on Gullah culture by writing about Julie Dash's Daughter of the Dust. More videos/media needs to highlight such a rich culture.
That's my favorite movie
This is absolutely amazing. These people are gifted and beautiful.. I'm studying a new script where the character's background is Gullah. This is so helpful in understanding the culture! Thank you! 👍🏽😊
Thank you so much for a presentation on the history of the Gullah people. The discussion of the language and culture and the connection to Africa is very interesting.
It's inaccurate Gullah origin is with Yamasee Indians and Caribe's whom are also Black Indians
That's the "Hijack" the majority of enslaved Blacks in the Americas lineage is indigenous, since the bulk of the enslaved were indigenous and there was alot more in-trading of the indigenous Population
Africans been in the Americas thousands of years before Columbus and enslaved Africans exported from Africa are a minority, 92,000 and not 10 or 12 million enslaved Africans was exported into the Americas and that number equal to a quarter of the indigenous Blacks (Caracoles) in Haiti alone that had over 3 to 400,000 indigenous Blacks
Hiding this knowledge is what Neo Pan Africanist, White Folks, $5 and assimilated Native Americans be doing cause Old School Pan Africanists like Runoko Rashidi, Dr. David Imhotep, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, Dr. Clyde Winters will tell you the majority of the Black populace in the Americas aren't Africans brought here in slave ships

I am watching this video and enjoy history a lot. Only one thing takes the joy out of the video... volume is so low, can barely hear the speaker. The history of the Gullah Geechee people is wonderful. Everyone should watch all the history about the people. They are wonderful, intelligent people.
Please turn the volume up. Thank you.
Gullah from Angola ✊🏾 shout out to all my geechi Charleston, SC folk 💯
Gola people are actually from Liberia and Sierra Leone.
@@savethestateliberia1529 Not necessarily. The Gullah-geechee are an amalgamation of several different countries. We all(my ancestors) weren't brought to SC and GA DIRECTLY from African shores. Some were imported from plantations and holding ports in the Caribbean, which was basically a drop off point(before their final stop) for many folks who were transported from the different African countries.
@@bronzedrage right. Clearly people came from all over. I'm specifically referring to the names Gullah and Geechee. I believe it's an alternate pronunciation of Gola and Gissi. They were probably the dominant ethnic groups.
@@savethestateliberia1529 Ok. I've never heard of Gola and Gissi. I'm going to have to do some research on it. I want to learn all I can about my heritage, considering we seem to be a dying breed.
@@savethestateliberia1529 Brooo no😂 Stop lying Gullah people didn’t came from sierra Leon or any west African country this is all lies The word, “Gullah is thought to be derived from “Angola as many slaves originated from that part of Africa, and that’s final Conspiracy or Cato's Rebellion) was a slave revolt that began on 9 September 1739, in the colony of South Carolina. It was the largest enslaved rebellion in the Southern Colonies, with 25 colonists and 35 to 50 Africans killed.[1][2] The uprising was led by native Africans who were likely from the Central African Kingdom of Kongo, as the rebels were Catholic and some spoke Portuguese. So get that in ur head, most black American came from the region of Congo-Angola 🇨🇩🇦🇴 Overall, by the end of the colonial period, African arrivals in Charleston primarily came from Angola (40 percent), Senegambia (19.5 percent), the Windward Coast (16.3 percent), and the Gold Coast (13.3 percent), as well as the Bight of Benin and Bight of Biafra in smaller percentages.

Gullah is not just the islands. It's also those of us from places like Georgetown SC. Most of the coastal regions.
Thanks
Do a video on the Louisiana creole's
Some other notable aspects of the Gullah/Geechee peoples is that they originated the Southern dialect or accent of American English. In the old days, it was referred to as the Charleston or Savannah accent. It was an outgrowth of enslaved Africans attempting to speak British English. And until this day, many words and idioms used in that part of the country are far more olde British English than they are modern American English.
Some refer geographically to the region of the Gullah/Geechee peoples as the Low Country which extended from Wilmington, NC down the coast to Jacksonville, FL. The most notable people in the Northern Florida region are the Seminoles, who're actually Gullah/Geechee peoples who escaped enslavement when migrating to what was then the Spanish colony of Florida. They were far more West African than indigenous contrary to popular beliefs.
One last point, people who lived along the Savannah river basin would also be considered a derivative of Gullah/Geechee culture. This is inclusive of people West of Charleston living in Columbia, SC and the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) which is where Edgefield, SC, Aiken, SC, North Augusta, SC and Augusta, GA and Evans, GA. You might even be able to lump Thompson, GA in as well. These people are all interrelated and speak in an idiom which is very similar.
What about sumter? My ppl from north Charleston and sumter are they related?
@@thehacker4089 I'm sure there's a connection in Sumter strictly based on migrations from the coastal region of South Carolina and Georgia. If your people are from North Charleston, they're certainly Gullah/Geechee as well.
@@dadisiolutosin yeah they from Dorchester north Charleston and Georgetown. Idk when they came to sumter . But I'll guess around late 1800s or early 1900s to alcolu and manning. Some stayed in north Charleston.
But not anymore . Do they have specific last names ?
I am a geechee and I get so tired of hearing people tell our story. We are and we have always been the original indigenous people to the lands known as America's. We are and we have always been part of the 12 tribes of Israel shalom.
Im from Louisiana with family on daddy side from South Carolina... Spartanburg
Did you do a program on The Palenquero of Colombia?
I feel as though home team needs to link with black sands entertainment and develop some adult African history content speaking this into existence
Brother my family has land on one of these sea islands, i think it would be cool for you to do a video on it. And visit if you’d like.
Hey what was the video about African women and Haïti I can’t find it on your channel and I wanted to finish watching it
I’ve never been prouder of being a GeeChee boy from Charleston SC💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
A sample of their speech would have enhanced this information. I've heard it spoken and it sounds remarkably similar to Jamaican patwa, which I speak fluently, and certain words are the same, for instant boi, for boy, etc.
Ogichi means surround in kalejin as tho calling the worries to supdew an enemy round up
Can you do the history of the Ijaw/Izon people
This is very interesting. I am Louisiana black Creole on my dad's side. Ancestry from New Orleans and Lafayette/New Iberia. I am mostly African descent, but I do have some distant French, Spanish and native American blood from Creole ancestors. We black Creole descend from the Fon/Edo people like our Haitian sisters and brothers. I would love to see you make a video on it one day.
Spirit of the Beauté Noire yes I’m Afro Louisiana Creole too.. me and family are from St. James, St John, and New Orleans. Yes he should do a video on us.
You mean Edo in Nigeria?
Can you do a brief history on the Garifuna people of West African descent that came to be in St. Vincent & The Grenadines. And later throughout Central and North America.
