Sierra Leone Creole people.

Hundreds of thousands of people living in the West African nation of Sierra Leone in the twenty-first century are considered Creole, or Krio. Creoles are distinct for their cultural and linguistic mores but are also defined by their unique origins. Creoles were formerly enslaved Africans who had escaped or been liberated from the Americas, Europe, or even enslavers’ ships sailing on the Atlantic Ocean. They subsequently returned to Africa where they lived in the Freetown settlement in Sierra Leone.
