Relocating Bushmen from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the Bushmen or San of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana. The CKGR was created in 1961 with the purpose of “protecting” an endangered species -- not an animal but the San Bushmen. The reserve was established to provide a home for the Bushmen in their ‘natural environment’, the only place they were able to survive. But in order to develop both tourism and mining potential, the government of Botswana has been taking action with the intention of relocating the San to settlements that sound suspiciously like the “reservations” of North America’s own indigenous peoples. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
