Day 9: #HelgaVierich talks about ancient stories from the #Kalahari. This material is super important for anyone who wants to know about #huntergatherer #gender relations.

How do children learn to be human? Adults model behaviour and instruct morals by examples, with the help of the stories. These can be original myths, biblical and folktales, or sometimes parables, coming-of-age adventures, and legends, that illustrate good as well as bad outcomes. Here one such tale is recounted, as told to an anthropologist by a Kua storyteller in the southeastern Kalahari four decades ago. This features the Creator, a termite mound, a Buffalo wife, foolish humans, and poisonous farts. Enjoy.
