Ju/'hoansi

The Ju/'hoansi, also known as the San people, are an indigenous group living primarily in the Kalahari Desert of Namibia and Botswana. They are among the last remaining hunter-gatherer societies and have a rich cultural heritage, including unique languages, art, and traditions. The Ju/'hoansi maintain a deep connection to their environment, relying on foraging and hunting for sustenance. Their social structures emphasize sharing, community, and egalitarianism. In recent years, they have faced challenges due to land rights issues and modernization. Efforts are ongoing to preserve their culture and address their rights amid changing social dynamics.
