Sustainabilities and Cultural Landscapes in West Namibia
Damara / ǂNūkhoen and ǁUbun cultural landscapes mapping,
west Namibia
The screenshot here is of an online map showing former ǁan-ǁhuib (living places) and other sites (such as springs, graves, Haiseb cairns and topographic features) in the broader landscape of the Sesfontein, Anabeb and Purros Conservancies. The map has been compiled through on-site oral history research, in 2014-2019, by Sian Sullivan, Welhemina Suro Ganuses and Filemon |Nuab with elderly residents of the Sesfontein and Anabeb Conservancies, and builds on oral history documentation by Sullivan and Ganuses from research in the late 1990s.
For detail see the map below, which is an ongoing process.
