Meet the Tueizara tribe of Namibia

Article in the times about a Himba family living on "the land God made in anger" a huge desert area in northern Namibia.
Sadly it looks like their four hundred year lifestyle will soon come to an end because as the Epupa Falls hydroelectric project will inundate their valley, submerging ancient Himba grave sites and drowning 6,000 palm trees on which the nomads depend for cattle feed in time of drought.

Lovely story but as for the dam, what a waste of life.
