Bushmen Tribe
The nomenclature for the indigenous people of Southern Africa varies and includes Bushmen, San, Sho, Basarwa, Kung, or Khwe. Their homeland includes much of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Mozambique, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. The Khoisan group includes the Bushmen.
- They were historically hunter-gatherers while being connected to the Khoikhoi, who were typically pastoralists.
- They transitioned to farming in the 1950s and continued to do so until the 1990s due to government-mandated modernization initiatives and the growing risks associated with a hunting and gathering lifestyle in the face of technological advancement.
- The Bushmen of the north, who live between Okavango (Botswana) and Etosha (Namibia), and who also extend into southern Angola, differ considerably in language from the Bushmen of the south, who live in the central Kalahari and are related to the Molopo, the last remaining members of the once-wide indigenous San people of South Africa.
Endangered Tribes of the World with Interesting
Endangered tribes of the world are the tribes or sections of tribes that are considered more vulnerable than other tribes. Referred to as indigenous peoples in intentional isolation, these groups choose to remain uncontacted. Although it is difficult to accurately determine the actual number of endangered tribes due to legal restrictions, estimates from the UN’s Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the nonprofit organization Survival International suggest that there are between 100 and 200 endangered tribes, with a total population of up to 10,000. Most of South America’s endangered tribes are found in northern Brazil, where the Brazilian government and National Geographic believe that there are between 77 and 84 tribes.
