What this means

This document is a tourism webpage entry titled “SAN (BUSHMEN)” for the Northern Cape South Africa. It describes the San people’s geographic presence (Northern Cape and parts of Botswana, Namibia, and southern Angola), their historical dispossession, and a 1995 land claim that resulted in the award of farms in the Mier municipal area and 28,000 hectares within the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (the “Heritage Park”). It also explains that the Heritage Park is jointly managed by SANParks, the Khomani San, and the Mier communities, and outlines visitor activities such as a Living Museum, cultural experiences, craft participation, nature walks, medicinal plant tours, and a veld school established by Oupa Dawid Kruiper.
