First People of the Kalahari
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First People of Kalahari (FPK) is a local Bushman advocacy organization in Botswana, working for the rights of the indigenous tribe of San, that had been forced by the Government of Botswana to resettle to the new built town of New Xade.
The organization was founded in 1991, registered in 1992 and officially recognised in 1993. Roy Sesana became chairman in 1995 and has had a main role in the fights with the government for many years.
Roy Sesana and First People of Kalahari were awarded the Right Livelihood Award in 2005.
