The United
Nations declared the decade 1995 – 2004 as the International Decade of
the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
One of the objectives
of this decade was to find solutions to the problems faced by indigenous
peoples in areas such as human rights, the environment, development,
health, culture and education.
While the recognition of these rights is a major advance for indigenous
peoples, this recognition needs to be accompanied by action, on the
ground, towards realizing those rights by providing opportunities for
sustainable growth and development.
The Endangered Peoples Trust was established to take positive steps to
halt the slide to extinction of the most ancient of these
cultures.
These are the hunter gatherers of Southern Africa.
These are the San, also known as the Bushmen, people of the later Stone
Age, whose genetic origins can be traced back to the beginning of modern
humanity.
Follow the journey
of these embattled people and perhaps you can assist and help
Save Our San.
