Through images, personal reminiscences, character sketches and depictions of important waterholes, Born in Etosha provides an insightful tribute to these former residents. Born in Etosha is designed to accompany the reader on a journey through Etosha, reincorporating the culture and history of the area into the natural landscape. The history of selected waterholes and other culturally relevant locations accessible to visitors on the main tourist routes serve to portray the life of the Hai||om who once lived there and to highlight the history of the park. "This publication ensures that people will know our story and helps to protect our history and culture," says Kadisen ||Khumub, the co-chair of the Xoms |Omis Project.
