TWO BUSHMEN LEGENDS – Tales from the bushmen of Nambia: Baba Indaba Children’s Stories Issue 46

Two San Bushman Tales

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 46

 

In Issue 46 of the Baba Indaba Children’s Stories, Baba Indaba narrates two legends from the bushmen of the Namib Desert. The stories are “How the Coming of a Snake Announces a Death in the Family” and “The Resurrection of the Ostrich.” Both legends are a mix of Bushmen folklore and customs and show how intertwined everyday life in the Namib is with the bush-lore by which the bushmen live.

 

This issue also has a “Where in the World – Look it Up” section, where young readers are challenged to look up a place on a map somewhere in the world. The place, town or city is relevant to the story, on map. HINT – use Google maps.

 

Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children’s stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as “Father of Stories”.
