No Man's Land

July 12, 2008
I live on the equivalent of a Native American reservation (actually my friend said her grandmother doesn’t like to be called that so we settled on The 1st People Who Lived in the Land That’s Now America But Whose Land Was Stolen By White People).
The Herero people were massacred and driven from the desirable land. As restitution later people were given plots out here…in the desert. But really, Namibia was one of the last African countries to be colonized- even the Europeans didn’t want it.
So I’m in the No Man’s Land of No Man’s Land.
