Gullah/Geechee Ouman (Woman): A History of Growing Food

In the southeastern coastal region of the United States, there are Africans who were born in America and who have retained African traditions, language included. Historically, the oumen (women) spent much of their time in the rice patties growing rice for their families, the community and for commerce. The women also wove beautiful “sweetgrass” baskets. The Gullah/Geechee oumen currently have retained and do practice this skill and tradition.
