		As scholars came to understand San beliefs in greater detail, more and more of the art could be related to San religious beliefs concerning the world of the spirits and the ritual by means of which they contacted that world—the healing or trance dance.

		People share food and other items daily but they also sometimes transfer items of considerable monetary value, eg clothing, tools, or radios and tape recorders.

	afrol News - "San people are indigenous to Botswana Reserve"
		The British ex-colonial officer testified that the San people indeed were indigenous to the Reserve, which was established in 1961.
		San residents in the Reserve were free to hunt throughout the year and boreholes were to be drilled to provide them with water.

	southern africa's san people (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Consequently, the San have always been associated with the refuges of mountains and deserts, where their rock paintings and engravings remain, and even today these aboriginal peoples lead a marginalized existence in the most remote and inhospitable areas of South Africa; Botswana and Namibia.
		Most often, the San are classed as hunter-gatherers and the Khoi as pastoralists, and, while the boundaries of classification were no doubt blurred, it is as hunter-gatherers that the San are best known.
		Aside from their rock art, engravings and isolated remnant settlements, the legacy of the San and acknowledgement of their place in the region’s history, is enshrined in the motto on the South African National Coat of Arms, !ke e: /xarra //ke, which in the /Xam language means “diverse people unite”.

	Bushmanland Overnight Adventure - About the San people
		The San people are the oldest inhabitants of Southern Africa and have been living in this area for as long as at least 25,000 years.
		Traditionally, the women were responsible for the food gathering (which means they were supplying most of the food for the group), and the men were hunting.
		About 2,000 years ago, the Bantu speaking people started migrating south from West-Africa, looking for new grazing areas for their cattle, therefore threatening the Bushman’s hunting and gathering areas.

		In modern South Africa, the Bushmen have largely been absorbed into the so-called Coloured or Cape Coloured population of the Western Cape.
