Heitsi-Eibib

National hero of the Hottentot people in South Africa. He is invoked as ‘grandfather’ and he grants the hunter luck in the chase.

More than one place is cited as the scene of his death, and at all of these sites—each of them seen as his grave—a heap of stones is erected in his honour. In terms of comparative religion he is probably best classified as a kind of bush-spirit.

This is the complete article, containing 71 words (approx. 1 page at 300 words per page).
