The Land we are on: We acknowledge that this workshop takes place on the ancestral land of the Khoi and S\u0101n communities, who were forced off their land by Dutch colonial occupiers more than 367 years ago, and were under occupation by the British for 180 years, followed by the Apartheid government, into the current dispensation. The first dispossession of land for commercial agricultural\u00a0purposes, including of the construction of the Pega Pega fence which became the\u00a0boundary line of the Khoi Dutch Frontier Wars in 1659, occurred in what is today called Observatory.\u00a0 We need to protect, honour and recognise the history and peoples of this land and the ongoing displacement that these communities face.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
