Mary Jane HigbeeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As I took Tim to serve him his tea, my mind was coursing back 50 years to my first arrival on the islands.
Mary Jane HigbeeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Bantuk was an isolated town, almost completely shut off from the outside world and ruled by Datu chiefs of the Igaro tribes, men who were headhunters.
Mary Jane HigbeeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Tim was the direct descendant of one of these, Tali, who had been one of my first English pupils and on whom the Ifugao's the most warlike of the mountain peoples, had exacted a terrible revenge.
Mary Jane HigbeeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I tried to put this out of my mind as I talked to Tim, but in my bones I knew somehow that past history was inexorably going to be brought back.
The MercGUEST
You have longer things, you're this, you're more European than these Blacks and so forth.

You go to South Africa with the Bantu stance, They created the same thing between the coloreds are better than the blacks, and then you have the Indians, and then you have the same thing.

ScarletHOST
Yeah.

And all the people that have stood here before voluntarily or were brought here against their will, um, you know, thanking her ancestor spirits and also specifically thinking this, the spirits of, uh, the Yoruba and Bantu and stuff like that, acknowledging where the tradition originated.
ScarletHOST
Um, a lot of really interesting stuff that, uh, is very specific to this tradition and very specific to Brazilian culture just in general.

That I am
Witney SchneidmanGUEST
I was taken by the beauty of the land.
Witney SchneidmanGUEST
I was taken by the culture and the architecture I saw, particularly on the Kenya coast, the mix of Bantu and Arabic, which is the Swahili culture.
Witney SchneidmanGUEST
So I left there just saying, what was that about? That was really cool.
Witney SchneidmanGUEST

Pali LehohlaGUEST
I thought very deeply around the Basotho and I'm sure it's in every Bantu culture is there and every culture it might be there.

Mario PinedaNARRATOR
On the contrary, I found at many places a condition of the Negro population far happier than I had dreamed it possible.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
The Negro of the Congo, the Bantu, if you please, is a born trader.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
He is imitative to a degree.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
He is acquisitive and charmed with novelties.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
He is bright and quick, remarkably intelligent.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
He readily acquires new languages, and it is no uncommon thing to find a Congo Bantu who can speak six or seven languages besides his own.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
In disposition variable and emotional, he quickly forgets his sorrow.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
I saw hundreds of natives who were working happily, living in good houses, dressing in good clothes of European stuff and pattern, and saving property.

Our ancestors made their way into South Africa with a very different set of personal codes.

From the earliest San, the Khoekhoe, the Bantu settlers, then the European settlers, we all arrived in this territory with plans and dreams.
