San elder ≠Oma ꟾKunta showcased the San's ancient wisdom at the King Charles Harmony Summit on Indigenous Knowledge and Conservation, held in the United Kingdom.

Under the Nꟾa'ankusê Foundation, ꟾKunta, accompanied by the Foundation's co-founder, Marlice van Vuuren, attended the King's Foundation at Highgrove House and Gardens earlier this month.

ꟾKunta shared that they still live according to San traditions, using indigenous medicine, foraging food from the bush, and respecting the land.

He told Namibian youth to be proud of their roots and to keep their languages and traditions alive, as this is where life begins.

The Harmony Summit brought together indigenous elders, environmental visionaries, and global conservation leaders to explore how traditional knowledge can guide a more sustainable future.

In 2019, the foundation was received by the late Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace, in recognition of their role in the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

The Nꟾa'ankusê Foundation is a Namibian non-profit organisation committed to helping conserve the country's unique landscape, protecting its iconic wildlife, and empowering its people, especially the marginalised San communities.
