Honoring Tradition



Have you heard about Hilton Head Island located in the Sea Islands of South Carolina? If not, let me explain. 

The Hilton Head Island is one of the Sea Islands of South Carolina. This entire stretch is popularly known as the Gullah Geechee corridor. The inhabitants here are known as the Gullah Geechee people, a name known to be derived from the West African language. The inhabitants of the islands here are descendants of African slaves brought here centuries ago to work on plantations. 



Through all these centuries, they have preserved their native African culture, heritage, language, customs, art forms, and family life. These Gullah Geechee people are known to have preserved their culture and traditions like no other African-American community residing in the United States. The reason behind this is their isolation from the mainland. For centuries, they had no connection with the rest of society on the mainland. Even after the end of slavery, they continued to reside on the island, as they were now settled in this area and their main livelihood came from the plantations. As they remained isolated even after the end of slavery, they managed to retain their rich West African culture, language, and customs. 

This interesting and unique culture and location make it a must see destination. Hilton Head Island, holds a rich culture and story that you can’t find anywhere but this Gullah Geechee corridor. What’s more, the Hilton Head activities provide full-time entertainment for all. They will make you and your families vacation a memorable one.
