Abstract
This work has been done in the territory where citizens in the past have been denied not only the freedom of movement but also the free practice of their own culture. In some instances they have been imposed to practice the imported or the culture of the master. Taking into account the selfdetermination achieved in 1 990, Namibia has been working for the reconstruction of the really autochthonous cultural histo ry of the Nation. We know that this work is done in difficult condition, despite the willingness and motivation of the Government to assist. The financial means at the disposal of those who are involved in the research of this nature are scarce, when the grant is there, it does not sometimes cover the cost of the all project. Since independence, the Government has embarked upon many reforms and projects in its different institutions. Thus, it makes it difficult for culture storage endeavours to be completed within a short period.
