Creole People in French Guiana

Creole People in French Guiana
The word "creole" in French Guiana refers specifically to descendants of 17th century African slaves who are now of mixed African, European, and Native American origins. However, the word is used in a more general sense to refer to all inhabitants of French Guiana except whites. Creoles make up the majority of the population in French Guiana.
