HOME Cotton Tree becomes a cultural centre Freetown's giant cotton tree, national symbol of Sierra Leone and a landmark in the capital, is also the address of the National Museum which tells the story of the history and culture of the country - particularly the influence of the formidable Mandinka warrior kings. The story goes that the tree started life as a young sapling when settlers came to Freetown in 1787. Amongst the most interesting exhibits in the museum is a copy of the De Ruyter stone which, in 1948, was proclaimed one of Freetown.s oldest monuments. It is buried six inches under the ground just above the high water level at Jimmy market place.

Introduction
Sierra Leone is a small country in western Africa with a population of more than 4 million people. Although it has considerable mineral resources, especially diamonds, it is a poor nation. Sierra Leone has been in the news a great deal lately because it has serious problems with a violent civil war that has hurt thousands of people and with refugees from Liberia. Sierra Leone is trying to solve these problems, but this will be difficult. Find out more about Sierra Leone below.
Geography
Sierra Leone lies on the Western coast of Africa between Guinea and Liberia. The name Sierra Leone means "Lion Mountains". Guinea is North of it, and Liberia is East. Sierra Leone borders the Atlantic Ocean, and has an area roughly 72,000 square kilometers a little smaller than South Carolina or a little larger than West Virginia. It is not the smallest country in Africa, but it is small compared to the size of Africa.
Sierra Leone has many sources of water from rivers. Throughout Sierra Leone, ther are many small mountains. These mountains have rivers flowing down them, that eventully flow to the sea. These rivers provide drinking water and useful transportation routes to the sea and other towns within Sierra Leone. People either travel short distances by foot, bike, or car (if owned). Long distances are usually traveled by boat or plane. Most people in this country don't have enough money to own a car or to buy an airplane ticket, so the majority use boats for long trips.
Sierra Leone has many natural resources that are worth a lot of money and are wanted throughout the world. These resources are minerals, especially diamonds, agricultural products, and fish. Along the coast of Sierra Leone, fisherman go out onto the sea every day to catch many fish. Towards the Eastern part, farmers grow their crops. All throughout Sierra Leone, titanium ore, bauxite, iron ore, gold chromite, and diamonds can be found. The diamonds are found in gravel deposits and swamps. Although diamonds are abundant, Sierra Leone is extremely poor.

    While Sierra Leoneans are notably not divided by religion, a more visible cultural divide does exist between metropolitan Freetown and the remainder of the country. This division is rooted in the practice of British colonialism; Freetown was a Crown Colony, the rest of the country the Sierra Leone Protectorate. Over one million people call Freetown home, mean that most Sierra Leoneans live in the former Protectorate. Beyond Freetown, most Sierra Leoneans are engaged in subsistence agriculture.

    Introduction
    Mrs. Queen Ellis of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina making a Gullah basket (1976). The Gullah are a distinctive group of Black Americans from South Carolina and Georgia in the southeastern United States. They live in small farming and fishing communities along the Atlantic coastal plain and on the chain of Sea Islands which runs parallel to the coast. Because of their geographical isolation and strong community life, the Gullah have been able to preserve more of their African cultural heritage than any other group of Black Americans. They speak a creole language similar to Sierra Leone Krio, use African names, tell African folktales, make African-style handicrafts such as baskets and carved walking sticks, and enjoy a rich cuisine based primarily on rice. The Gullah people are directly descended from the slaves who labored on the rice plantations, and their language reflects significant influences from Sierra Leone and the surrounding area. The Gullahs' English-based creole language is strikingly similar to Sierra Leone Krio and contains such identical expressions as bigyai (greedy)
