In 1958, with assistance from the Marshalls, a group of Ju/'hoansi returned home to Nyae Nyae after several years as unpaid, captive laborers on a farm. One woman, whose husband had escaped the farm and left her behind, had a child with another man. Upon the group's return to Nyae Nyae, an angry argument broke out over the matter. An Argument About a Marriage raises questions about the impact of European farms on the economic and the social life of the Ju/'hoansi; about the complexities of marriage rules and bride-service in their traditional kinship system; and about the nature of conflict and its mediation among the Ju/'hoansi. Despite the interpersonal anger, we see how ≠oma's skillful intervention prevents this particular conflict from escalating to violence.

Intended to raise awareness about issues facing Ju/'hoansi, Pull Ourselves Up or Die Out explores: problems and issues due to the shift from subsistence to a cash-based economy; the possible establishment of a game reserve in Eastern Bushmanland; development of subsistence agriculture by Ju/'hoan groups; and confrontations with South African Administration officials regarding the rights to install a water pump and the rights of Ju/'hoansi to access water.

For thousands of years Ju/'hoansi have lived in the Nyae Nyae region in northeastern Namibia. In the 1950s, most Ju/'hoansi had been exterminated or were dispossessed by white colonists and black farmers, but in Nyae Nyae Ju/'hoansi were still the only permanent inhabitants. For thousands of years Ju/'hoansi have lived in the Nyae Nyae region in northeastern Namibia. In the 1950s, most Ju/'hoansi had been exterminated or were dispossessed by white colonists and black farmers, but in Nyae Nyae Ju/'hoansi were still the only permanent inhabitants. Waterless approaches isolated their ancient communal land and protected them from enslavement. In 1970 the Ju/'hoansi lost 70% of Nyae Nyae when Bushmanland was established as the only "homeland" for people classified as "Bushmen" in Namibia. The people huddled in a rural slum at Tshumkwe, the administrative capital of Bushmanland, where the malnourished population declined from tuberculosis and other diseases. To survive, Ju/'hoansi had had to develop subsistence farming and produce food to eat in Eastern Bushmanland. In a country where most people had been reduced to extreme poverty under South African occupation, "Bushmen" were the poorest. Until the mid 1980's, the Colonial Administration planned to complete the dispossession of the "Bushmen" by expropriating Eastern Bushmanland for a game reserve. In 1982 a development foundation was started to help Ju/'hoansi keep Eastern Bushmanland and develop subsistence farming. This visual report, produced in conjunction with a major Land Rights Conference in Namibia in 1991 and aired on Namibian television, shows the Ju/'hoan struggle to hold onto their last fragment of land and farm for their lives.
