@TheDailyBurble maybe this kind of work will help give them a voice
@glynmoody The displaced (and pretty much exterminated) indigenous people of the Southern tip of Africa have no voice at all in today's world. Their stories and deep knowledge of the land are lost. There is nobody to send to high courts or speak to a king or governments (white or black) for reparations, they are all but gone, a mere whisper on the wind. Lost but not quite forgotten. Not yet anyway.
