   Extractions: Some of Botswana's most ancient cultural landmarks exist in the Tsodilo Hills, lonely rocks that jut abruptly from the plains and are the source of myth, legend, and spiritual significance for the San. In these hills there are more than 3,500 rock paintings, many of which are over 1,000 years old. In the eastern town of Serowe is the Khama III Memorial Museum. Installed in the Red House that was the residence of Leapeetswe Khama, a descendant of Khama III, the museum has exhibits of this revered 19th-century leader, who helped preserve Botswana's territorial integrity. In the capital, Gabarone, the National Museum and Art Gallery has a large collection of both traditional and modern African art. Home Page About Us Safaris Places Visited ...

   http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/africa/botswana/culture.htm
   
   Extractions: Botswana Botswana's early tribal religions were primarily cults in which ancestors directed family matters from their underworld domain and were contactable only through the heads of family groups. Religious rites included male and female initiation ceremonies and rain-making rituals. Polygamy was practised, and a man's estate was inherited by the children of his head wife. San folklore is rich with supernatural explanations of natural events, orchestrated by N!odima, the good guy, and Gcawama, the mischievous trickster. Missionaries dislodged nearly all the traditional practices, and Christianity is currently the prevailing belief system in Botswana. English is the official language of Botswana, but the most common language is Setswana, a Bantu language understood by over 90% of the population. The original Botswana artists were everyday craftspeople who injected individual aesthetics into utilitarian implements such as pottery, fabrics and tools. Botswana's baskets are exquisite, employing designs with such evocative names as Tears of the Giraffe, Urine Trail of the Bull and Forehead of the Zebra. Because indigenous languages have only been written since the coming of the Christian missionaries, Botswana doesn't have much of a literary tradition. All that survives of the ancient myths and praise poetry of the native peoples has been handed down orally and only recently transcribed. Botswana's most famous modern literary figure was South African-born Bessie Head, who settled in Serowe and wrote of the harshness and beauty of village life.

Botswana is one of the few countries in Africa that is privileged to have a science and technology policy. The Botswana Technology Centre is the brainchild of the first Science and Technology Policy for Botswana. The policy was passed by parliament in July 1998. Below is an extract of the principal policy goals, objectives and strategies. CORE POLICY OBJECTIVES In order to achieve the overall goal the core policy objectives are to: Establish and strengthen national capacity to research, evaluate, select, acquire, adapt, develop, generate, apply and disseminate suitable technologies; Promote and develop traditional, endogenous, new and innovative technologies, and; Create knowledge and awareness, improve and develop the scientific and technological culture of Batswana.

    They are all settled now because of pressures by the government and theirculture is being mixed much more with mainstream botswana culture.  
    http://www.khwai.org/culture.html
    
    Extractions: Indigenous Knowledge I How the Culture is Changing Traditional Bukakhwae The naming of the people of Khwai and the greater ethnic group they belong to is problematic. The most familiar name is probably Bushmen or Bushpeople but some consider this to be an insult. The Setswana name is Basarwa and anthropologists have named these people San. When I asked people in Khwai what they wanted to be called most people didn't care. They referred to themselves by bushman and Basarwa and sometimes San. I think this partly shows how silly labeling is but it's still needed so I'll use the legal term, Basarwa. The Basarwa were the first inhabitants of Southern Africa. Traditionally they made a living through hunting and gathering. Their lifestyle is often called nomadic but that is a misnomer. Basarwa did not move aimlessly like a nomad does but instead moved from location to location according to the seasons and the food resources available in each place. Food and water resources were protected form over-exploitation through elaborate social customs about which groups of people could use which regions and how often people should hunt. The hunting and gathering lifestyle required an intimate knowledge of their natural surroundings. Many Basarwa may never have attended school but they were still highly educated by a different set of standards. The Babukakhwae are a section of the Basarwa also known as "river bushmen." They are typically taller than other Basarwa and their language and culture varies greatly from other Basarwa groups in the Kalahari and even just 30 Km away in Mababe village.

    Extractions: BATSHO NTHOI - profile by ADAM FRANKEL Batsho Nthoi Young people must lead the global fight against AIDS, says Batsho Nthoi. Young people-in Botswana, anyone between ages 12 and 29-are the most vulnerable part of the population. Any plan to fight AIDS must direct its efforts at young people. And the best people to tell you how to target youth are young people themselves, says Batsho. But AIDS organizations are often unwilling to ask young people for their advice. "A lot of people don't take young people seriously, they think we're jokers," he says. "And it's up to young people themselves to change that perception."
