Indigo, a deep blue dye, holds significant meaning and purpose in both Sierra Leone and South Carolina, particularly within the context of textile traditions and historical significance. In Sierra Leone, indigo dyeing is a deeply rooted cultural practice, often signifying wealth, status, and connection to the land and ancestors.
