Kurzfassung:
"Tracking Indigenous Heritage" describes the experiences of the Ju/'hoansi of north-eastern Namibia, who perform their 'traditional' hunter-gatherer lifestyle as a means of generating income. Being constantly concerned with ther Intagible Cultural Heritage, they experimentally re-interpret it for the creation of specific staged touristic performances. The children grow up with the regular enactment of traditional culture and playfully practice and re-enact it themselves. After centuries of discrimination and marginalisation, the Ju/'hoansi are moving towards a new position inside the nation state. In "Living Museums and Cultural Villages" located in protected nature conservancies in the Kalahari Desert, the Ju/'hoansi handle their cultural hertiage as a basis fcr self-determination and as a strategy to achieve their claims for indigenous rights.
