Ogain

The ǁOgain are a Nama people of the dry interior of southern Africa, associated with the country around Schlip. The Nama speak a Khoe language and include several communities spread across the southern Namibian plateau. Their herds moved through country where rain and grazing vary greatly from place to place. From the late eighteenth century, Oorlam groups travelling north from the Cape entered the lands of the Nama, bringing new relationships and rivalries to the region.
