Who they are
The Jola-Karon are a subgroup of the Jola people who live mainly in the coastal areas and islands of Senegal’s Casamance region and neighboring areas of The Gambia. Known for their deep connection to wetland rice farming and fishing, they keep their communal traditions and the Karon language alive as pillars of their cultural identity.
