Queen Quet, Chieftess of Gullah/Geechee Nation, celebrates their victories over a would-be developer (as she says, "destructioneer") attempting to privatize beautiful and culturally significant St. Helena Island for a golf course and resort. Gullah/Geechee Nation is the first nation of African descendants to be recognized within the United States. Their fight for sovereignty, safety, and beauty has lessons for us all.
