Khute

The Khute are among the peoples of the central Kalahari, a broad country of sand and sparse surface water. Their neighbours include the Gǀwi and Gǁana, whose languages belong to the Khoe family. In the dry Kalahari, people have drawn moisture from wild melons, roots and tubers as well as from animals. Knowledge of waterholes and seasonal plant foods helped hunters and their families travel between places across this thirsty interior.
