A6000 year old rock art shows that they were hunting big game. They were the largest tribe before the Europeans came to South Africa |
Now, persecuted by Europeans and African tribes, only 90000 survive in the desert were nobody else can live. |
Their huts are primitive. |
Each day, men, women and kids go looking for food because they don't cultivate nor herd cattle. |
Mothers carry on their back kids too young to hike for hours |
Kids go with the parents to learn how to find roots and seeds |
They eat salty little seeds and use them in snares to catch guineafowls |
Despite their tough life they are very friendly..... |
Smiling... |
pleasant.... |
... beautiful..... |
and shy. |
They stop every hour or two to start a fire.... |
To smoke and... |
share a pipe... |
....and laugh |
They help each other |
They dig with their stick |
to get milkplant roots to eat. |
In the evening around a fire... |
they sing and clap their hands.... |
and the next morning, they go again and fetch some food. |
