I lived in Charleston South Carolina as a kid all my young friends were of the Gullah descent, and I grew up listening to the old folks speaking the Gullah language and I can speak it fluently as a child but as we moved away and grew older I lost that native tongue I wish I could still speak it my family would sit back and laugh and laugh and laugh listening to me speak geechee
Slave ship stop DIRECTLY off the coast of Brunswick, NC named for Brunswick County in N.C. but it gets left out of ALL the Gullah Geeche conversation in the Town of Northwest i know my family the Ballards have been here around 1801 Im a 6th Generation Ballard and there 4 generation since me so weve been here about 223 years thats a long time without any recognition
My 6x Grandmother was a slave on Hilton Head Island she eventually moved to North Carolina after slavery ended even though she was a free woman in 1840. My dad's family still lives in the part of NC she brought them to. I would love to visit Hilton Head to see where she came from.
CatholicKittie we may be family! My Grand parents, Great grandparents and so on we're born Hiltonhead Island I have no idea when our ancestors came her from Sierra Leone.
Im sadden by this and I think a lot of black people who have ancestors( like myself) who were from this region of the country( my grandmother's birthplace )are so detached from this culture really are at a disadvantage and need to find a way back to reconnect to it FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

Being from Caribbean I find this to be so sick. I was amazed when I first heard about gullah, then I heard about the developers. Culture is so similar to the anglo caribbean
Same thing happened in the Hawaiian Islands. Wealthy American Companies came in, Bought all the land and outpriced the natives. Just like Hilton Head Island. I lived on Hilton Head Island in the mid 70's. Sad. Hang on to your heritage.

I am a white guy and I lived on Hilton Head Island in the mid 70's. The majority of the workers at the Hyatt Hotel on Hilton Head were from Bluffton, Buford County. My best friend and room mate was Arthur (Cass) Grant and he is black. I didn't mind being the only white boy working room service at the Hyatt Hotel. So many kind people and helpful people. There was no racism. I wish we all could go back in time when there wasn't all this hate we have today. Now I can't afford to go to Hilton Head Island. Besides it's just not the same.

To my Gullah/Geechees… The name Gullah is in the Strong’s Concordance Bible dictionary as a Hebrew name. Look in the Hebrew Language section on page 1353 and you can see for yourselves. Yah’ll (we) are Hebrews. Our names were not mis-pronounced as Angola or Golas although some of our ancestors were from there. The Spanish and English called us Gullah or GuYah (In spanish the LL makes a Y sound) because they knew who we were. Geechees are the Yamasee or Yahmassee (Yah) (Yahweh) who were also Hebrews and were called (Maroons, Guale, Yamacraw, Creek Aborigines) by the Spanish. Cum-by-Yah, Ah-ha-Yah, We-Ben-Yah (We Son of Yah), Hallelu-Yah.

@AsukuluMsombo no. Gullah is the Guale Indian; a Muscogean culture right there in the exact same place they live today. Don't believe these white folks trying to remove them from their indigenous land that is their birthright. That's why it's heirs property.

Shrimp and grits, basket weaving. GULLAH comes from Guale and Geechi comes from Ogeechi river which is where they resided. These are not African traditions this indegenous American culture that they erased by telling you the Guale tried died out and Africanizing the people who live in their lands
Because the movie not only exposed the owners to developers but the limited education of the people opening up exploitation. Its called Gentrification.
"Gullah Geeche nation has seen a lot of changes and many of those changes have been brought because people didn't have a clear understanding of our story." Wait a sec! You're talking about people changing Gullah traditions, while wearing an Ankh? That's not part of your culture at all. 4:17

I just don't get it. Why don't they do the research if they really want to honor our ancestors. Slaves were not taken from Egypt and African Americans were not the Hebrew slaves of the bible. Our history is great enough as is once you bother to learn the truth.
I understand everything that me and said we speak the language too and I’m from Beaufort South Carolina in the west Indies in the Caribbean like I don’t understand why they continue to try to lie about us being indigenous to the Americas and how Mexico was a part of us too, and he took that that’s why we’re so connected💜💜🌻🌻🌻 Black people are from everywhere around the world.
