Ubiqua

Ubiqua is a historical name for a San group in the southwestern Cape. Seventeenth-century colonists placed people called Ubiqua in the mountains east of the Berg River. Their hunter-gatherer society shared a wider landscape with Khoekhoe pastoral communities, whose seasonal movements also used its pastures and water. Dutch farms expanded into the Land van Waveren around 1700. Indigenous resistance followed, including attacks by Ubiqua on colonial posts and livestock in 1701–1702.
