Join us in paying tribute to the extraordinary legacy of Ouma Katrina, the last speaker of N|uu, who received the prestigious Order of the Baobab in 2014—a national honor recognizing her outstanding service to South Africa.

🗣️ Ouma Katrina's Quest for Preservation 🗣️

Despite her own inability to read and write, Ouma Katrina's determination to preserve the ancient and highly endangered N|uu language led her to establish a N|uu language school, ensuring its survival for future generations.

📚 Ouma Katrina's Literary Contributions 📚

Her passion for N|uu extended beyond oral teachings. Ouma Katrina collaborated with the Puku Children's Literature Foundation to create the first-ever N|uu book, making the language more accessible to a broader audience, especially children.

📖 Additionally, she worked alongside African Tongue and the South African Department of Arts and Culture to develop the first N|uu dictionary—a vital milestone in documenting and safeguarding the N|uu language.
