  • Resumen

  • Are you Black Indian? Well, if you're from South Carolina and you have Gullah Geechee roots, then there is a likely possibility that you are Black Indian - from a tribe called the Yamassee. Though small in number today, in the 1600s and 1700s, the Yamassee Tribe was a force of nature. The tribe battled perpetrators on their land, now known as The United States of America, specifically South Carolina, and they fought to protect and help all people, particularly the Gullah Geechee peoples of South Carolina. The Yamassee War of 1715-1717 was a major conflict between the Yamassee and the British, which led to the deaths of thousands. These were my people.

    My grandmother told her children that she, they, we are Gullah Geechee and Black Indian. My research has confirmed this. The lineage is very long - the history, which was passed down orally, is now being talked about and written. But that history wasn't and isn't taught in schools, and it is up to those of us who know our identity to educate others. The Gullah Geechee people and the Yamassee Black Indians have history that pre-dates the formation of The United States of America. The history cannot be erased and will not be forgotten.
