Some 22,000 years ago, KhoiKhoi were the largest group of humans on earth: a tribe of hunter-gatherers in Southern Africa. Today, only about 100,000 Khoi Khoi Tribe remain, largely in official settlements in Namibia & South Africa. Known as the first humans and the first language, their clicking sound gives a tranquil feeling when you listen to it. HOW DO THE KHOI KHOI MAINTAIN THEIR LIVING TODAY? In Botswana, there is a law that the hunter-gatherers cannot hunt anymore. There are land disputes and in many cases they are being pushed off the land they used to hunt or consider sacred. They are considered lowlifes in society and have very little political representation. In many ways this replicates what happened to the indigenous people of North America, who by the way were also hunter gatherers. WHAT IS BEING LOST? The most important thing is the language. This is a "click language" in which clicks are like consonants. Linguists believe that the more clicks you have the older the language is, and this one has five, the most of any. There is also beautiful traditional music and singing that will be lost. They have incredible knowledge about animal behavior and about the environment. Where you and I would only see plants and scrub and thorn and dry wood, they see a lot of things you can eat. If you walk with a Tribesman, he is constantly eating because he always finds something to nibble or chew on, and of course this is precious knowledge that we don't have. This is also their pharmacy, the herbs or the natural substances within the plants that will help them when ill. The elders have absolutely pristine hearing, live long like the lady in this video and clear vision. The Nama (or Namaqua), the largest group of Khoikhoi are also effectively the only remaining Khoikhoi. They have secured a portion of their homeland in the Richtersveld National Park, where they're able to maintain their lifestyle. Pride in their lineage is returning with the recognition of this identity. #AfroToTheWorld #KhoiKhoi #nama #korana #kwe #botswana #namibia #southafrica #kalahari #Lifestyle #entertainment #music #culture #bizznezlife #TheBizznez - @thebizznez
