In 2021, the San Bushmen living in Nhoma, a remote village in the Kalahari Desert of Namibia, asked the Tribal Trust to provide a school in their village that ensures an indigenous transfer of knowledge that coincides with teaching western knowledge; not through integration or assimilation of one within another but have these knowledge systems stand side by side working collaboratively to create a schooling system that is both inclusive and effective in enabling the San to expand their knowledge beyond their environment.
Our work continues, the school’s construction now complete and the curriculum continuing to grow as it includes learning in the San’s original language, hunting and gathering skills, and their healing trance dance technology as well as contemporary teachings to meet the modern world.
