Historical Usage
The Damara people are believed to be descendants of the Khoekhoe, a larger ethnic group that inhabited the southwestern African region during the late 15th to the 18th centuries. The Damara were named by European explorers who encountered them in the early 19th century, possibly deriving the name from the Khoekhoe word 'da-mar' meaning 'people of the sea'.
Late 15th to early 19th centuries
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Damara people were involved in a series of rebellions against German colonial rule in what is now Namibia. These rebellions, collectively known as the Herero and Nama War, were sparked by the imposition of heavy taxes and forced labor on the Damara and other indigenous peoples by the German colonial authorities. The Damara were led by important figures such as Hendrik Witbooi and Hosea Kutako.
