The "Griot" is the Rememberer - a living encyclopedia of genealogies, history and land claims. Griots served like the Courthouse records in America - explaining who was related to whom, and exactly how; recording marriages, births and deaths; keeping track of agreements for use of the land and water, and treaties between clans and tribes.
The single largest problem in all of Africa today is probably land use conflicts, because the griots are largely gone, and have in most cases been replaced with paper records that are prone to falsification by corrupt officials. Honor and tradition have been scorned for the "law" of those with money and education - and most importantly guns.

an African storyteller is also known as a griot.
A griot (English pronunciation: /ˈɡri.oʊ/, French pronunciation: [ɡʁi.o], with a silent t) or jeli(djeli or djéli in French spelling) is a West African historian. The griot delivers history as a poet, praise singer, and wandering musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition. As such, they are sometimes also called bards. According to Paul Oliver in his book Savannah Syncopators, "Though [the griot] has to know many traditional songs without error, he must also have the ability to extemporize on current events, chance incidents and the passing scene. His wit can be devastating and his knowledge of local history formidable." Although they are popularly known as 'praise singers', griots may also use their vocal expertise for gossip, satire, or political comment.
Griots today live in many parts of West Africa, including Mali, the Gambia, Guinea, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal and Morocco and are present among the Mande peoples (Mandinka, Malinké, Bambara, etc.), Fulɓe (Fula), Hausa, Songhai, Tukulóor, Wolof, Serer, Mossi, Dagomba, Sahrawis, Mauritanian Arabs and many other smaller groups. The word may derive from the French transliteration "guiriot" of the Portuguese word "criado," or masculine singular term for "servant."
In African languages, griots are referred to by a number of names: jeli in northern Mande areas, jali in southern Mande areas, guewel in Wolof, gawlo in Pulaar (Fula), "igawen" in Berber and gnawi in Hassaniyya Arabic. Griots form an endogamous caste, meaning that most of them only marry fellow griots and that those who are not griots do not normally perform the same functions that they perform.

The oral traditions of their African heritage held a very important part in the successful passing of culture and heritage on to subsequent generations by slaves. It was illegal for slaves to be taught to read and write as slave owners felt an educated slave was a dangerous slave. Therefore the chronicling of oral history in the way of the Griot grew even stronger in America.
