Had the divine opportunity to sit with this tribe on the Botswana side of tge desert at a fire one evening ..I didnt understand a word but was so at peace around them ..humility present was abundant. They dont need passports to travel both ways of the border.
Indigenous way of life will always florish besides western influence in Africa. Let's preserve our natural habitats for our future generations my great people
No matter how they come at us, they will never be able to comprehend or duplicate the divine purity of the Afrikan soul. We are a blessed land. We are the garden of Eden ❤
@@kamauwawachira2907Sure, like our thuggish president, is that African culture too? African culture is not the best, we are just used to saying it is , but it's not.
Hard lives, holding fast on the margins of survival, where inherited knowledge and practices are the most precious asset. These lives are haunting memorials to all of us of what humanity once had to accept with a patience and good grace that astonishes in this day and age. To see these small Topnaar communities still wresting their livelihood after thousands of years, in such vast and unforgiving landscapes, inspires a strangely biblical awe. I found the singing at the end very beautiful, it seemed to be shaped by the landscapes.
Utterly enjoyed this documentary..... Wish I could get more of the choir music... I may not understand what they are saying but definitely spoke to my soul 🥺🙏
Wonderful. It did make me realise we are all the same - we older women thinking young people do not do things as we used to do. Always the same. Humans from different places have more in common than our differences. I am glad they are passing on the knowledge. Some of our oldest ancestors on the planet are here - is the cradle of mankind with their extremely special language (and interesting to see so many also speak English - from here in England).
I went to school around this area ..at a school called Utuseb. J P Brand primary school and it was the best years of my life ,hopefully I will be able to go back oneday for a visit
So beautiful . It reminds me of my childhood in the desert in the Horn of Africa. We had a very big number of goats and sheep and we moved across the borders between Somalia and Ethiopia freely following the rainfalls.
Very informative we need this more of research into the country and more of such contents, thank you for your effort, land and farming animals are our lifes.
An insightful documentary I must say. Eric's masters is quite interesting and I am sure the findings are beneficial to the Topnaar people. It would be nice if he can pursure the same topic at PhD level.
Nice video. Next time i am in the Kuiseb Revier i must ask the peoples for the Chocolate. I know a spot in the Swakop Revier there some Nara's plants and if they get the fruits i harvest some and try the Nama receipt👍 When i am inland i have to bring Olifant dung to the coast..the smoke is inhaled and cures sickness. If i look deeper in this i think we don.t need the big pharma industries any more.....
They hardly receive rain and storms. I was born in Walvisbay where Utuseb is a rural village of W/Bay. We hardly get rain. We only get dew, strong winds and very cold weather (hot weather very rare)
Tracking has revealed that they graze on annual grass during rainy season,and browze during dry season. When i mean browsing,they feed on the leaves and mostly high protein containing pods.
UCT offers classes in for the language free od charge! I understand it and can speak minimal. Writing is a challenge due to the clicks. This documentary is better be put through a person that can understand, speak and write the language. I find the setting and language not congruent to my upbringing, understanding and knowledge od the country where Imwas born and raised.
They, the people, should dig holes, build half moons to capture the rain and revitalise the soil and grow more trees and grass. Neither goats or cattle are native to Africa, they arrived after they were domesticated in the Middle East And have been eating the native flora back to the ground ever since. And they need to spread the seed of the Nara melon so they have many more to eat.
I m very experienced and I could help them a lot to produce more food ...but without population control it would make no sense...only later more damage!
Suffering in the desert even after hundred years it'll still be a desert how sad they should start praying for God to turn their land around It happened with the Jews whenever they set foot on barren land it turns to oasis
Who is a waste What did they waste How does it affect you Why not just be silent if you don't find it in your heart to encourage and have something good to say
Love any language with a click. I could listen to it all day
Had the divine opportunity to sit with this tribe on the Botswana side of tge desert at a fire one evening ..I didnt understand a word but was so at peace around them ..humility present was abundant. They dont need passports to travel both ways of the border.
I also speak a click language called isiXhosa
Found throughout South Africa and Zimbabwe

Our culture as Africans at home & abroad is surley our immune system.
@kamauwawachira2907 you better preach child of the sacred soil of mama Africa
@@kamauwawachira2907Sure, like our thuggish president, is that African culture too? African culture is not the best, we are just used to saying it is , but it's not.
I agree, but places like Zimbabwe were very developed in the early days. So you can't just blame Europeans🙏
Thank you for covering this , I grew up drinking and eating ,!nara, Lord gone are those days

Salute to the resilient of all Namib tribes living in the desert .

Thanks much for this documentry, this enable us to see people in other places cope with difficult living.
Those animals look healthy and well fed despite them being reared in the desert.
True, they're even better than the one living and grazing in a better grazing (in-lands)
Absolutely
So beautiful .

Outstanding 🙌🏻 you've piqued my interest in Namibia, that's for sure

Beautiful ethnographic documentary
Great job, Oliver! Made me sub
Brilliant Video
The translator didn’t do any justice at all. Very wrong and misleading translation 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ overall a good documentary
Great idea for tracking your animals
Sensitive, thoughtful documentary with beautiful photography. Thank you!
Great video, tx for sharing.
Great video
This is nice 👍😊
Nice video. Next time i am in the Kuiseb Revier i must ask the peoples for the Chocolate.

This documentary reminds me my fathers cattle those years 1990 up. we was enjoy milk for free🥛🥛🥰
I like the way they manege their livestock,,,, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please show Rainy days & storms aswell
They hardly receive rain and storms. I was born in Walvisbay where Utuseb is a rural village of W/Bay. We hardly get rain. We only get dew, strong winds and very cold weather (hot weather very rare)
How would like to know how the seeds can still be viable and germinate after the intense boiling?
nice video but ur translator mismatched 😱
Sorry to hear this, its frustrating. Several people have said so, do you know which parts are wrong?
Why don't the people plant dates pomegranate citrus ect......food that grows in dry hot clinate?
Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Wonderful people
This is a blessed people
Beautiful
Very nice, lovin' it...
I love my country
Indigenous way of life, beautiful to see. Sad that they lost their chief
Africa is our home
I hope these people were paid and not just filmed in vain.
Remember people can live underground, so building on top may require resources underground less resources.
Like it
Looks yummy
Their animals looks so well fed in the desert, i wonder what do they eat because the land looks so barren.
Tracking has revealed that they graze on annual grass during rainy season,and browze during dry season. When i mean browsing,they feed on the leaves and mostly high protein containing pods.
The translator changed what granny said 😅😅

At 13:27 This is actually very cruel for the animal he or she feels it.. Very bad! Why don't you just hire more people to watch over them?
They, the people, should dig holes, build half moons to capture the rain and revitalise the soil and grow more trees and grass. Neither goats or cattle are native to Africa, they arrived after they were domesticated in the Middle East And have been eating the native flora back to the ground ever since. And they need to spread the seed of the Nara melon so they have many more to eat.
The seeds are naturally spread by the Jackals, they feed on the ripe fruits. but not all seeds germinate due to the viability and sporadic climates
Ouma
I m very experienced and I could help them a lot to produce more food ...but without population control it would make no sense...only later more damage!
Whoever wrote these subtitles are a circus, great video though.
Hulle is nama
Suffering in the desert even after hundred years it'll still be a desert how sad they should start praying for God to turn their land around
It happened with the Jews whenever they set foot on barren land it turns to oasis
This namibias fufu.
Mase poes m.from capetown cape flatse..my people
Heal
the old lady wasnt wrong about this young generation lazy wont move lest u give them drugs grog terrible
shame they want to own but they are a waste
They own their lifes and livestock. Shame on you for seeing other things to satisfy your prejudices.
Who is a waste
What did they waste
How does it affect you
Why not just be silent if you don't find it in your heart to encourage and have something good to say
Jou ma man!
THATS THE LAST OF OUR ORG AUNTIES AND UNCLES IF U SO CALLED COULERD .
