This chapter draws on an oral history and cultural mapping project in west Namibia that has documented remembered former dwelling places, particularly in today's Sesfontein and Purros communal-area Conservancies and the Palmwag Tourism Concession. The research draws into focus past practices of dwelling, mobility, livelihood and environmental perception amongst Khoekhoegowab² -speaking peoples who refer to themselves as Damara / ‡Nūkhoen and ||Ubun³ , who lived into at least the recent past as hunter-harvesters and small stock pastoralists throughout the wider west Namibian landscape.
