For the Gullah/Geechee people, fishing is culture. Everything comes back to "making a circle", shares Queen Quet, chieftess and head-of-state of the Gullah/Geechee Nation, from throwing a circular cast net out into the ocean, to bringing balance and harmony back to the natural environment, and passing down cultural traditions to the next generation. Tune in for a conversation between Host and Producer Sarah Shimazaki and Queen Quet!
The Gullah/Geechee Nation encompasses over 100 sea islands along the Atlantic coast and about 30 miles inland. The Gullah/Geechee are descendants of enslaved people from West Africa and have largely been able to preserve their traditions, including fishing, which they depend on for their livelihood.
October 22nd marks the Gullah/Geechee Seafood Festival. Bring family and friends to enjoy the Gullah/Geechee presentations, cuisine, and crafts along the shoreline at the Hunting Island Nature Center!
Untangling is a three-part Outside Voices mini-series exploring our cultural connections to fishing, created in partnership with our friends at Take Me Fishing.
