The Hadzabe of Tanzania

The Hadzabe of Tanzania are one of the last remaining tribes of hunter-gatherers in the world. Their numbers are now fewer than 1,500 and are threatened due to encroachment of neighboring pastoralists and agriculturalists as well as a misunderstanding and discrimination by the outside world. Genetic testing indicates they may represent one of the primary roots of the human family tree, more than 100,000 years old.

I am a Hadzabe. This is one of many lies being perpetrated and orchestrated by wazungu and ngo's seeking money from donors. Our people need schools, health centers, roads and development. There is nothing proud in remaining as the last hunter gather in the world!! Shame on you!
