EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of traditional Native huts in Palapye, Bechuanaland (now Botswana), South Africa, during the late 1900s. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the indigenous people during the British colonial era. The huts, made of mud and thatch, are arranged in a compact settlement, with each dwelling surrounded by a low fence for protection. The inhabitants of these huts, dressed in animal skins and adorned with colorful beadwork, lived in harmony with nature, relying on agriculture and livestock farming for their livelihood. The British Protectorate of Bechuanaland, established in 1885, brought significant changes to the region, including the introduction of European building techniques and the imposition of British rule. However, the Native huts continued to be the primary residence for the majority of the population. The presence of the hat in the foreground of the photograph serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange that took place during this period. The tranquil setting, with the huts nestled amidst lush greenery and the clear blue sky overhead, conveys a sense of peace and simplicity. Yet, the image also carries an underlying tension, as the encroachment of European influence began to reshape the traditional way of life. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the indigenous people of Bechuanaland in the face of colonialism.
