Uganda - Batwa Tribe - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

James and Flora smoke home grown tobacco, they start a fire using a bow and drill method. They are village elders of the traditional Batwa pygmies from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. They were indigenous forest nomads before they were evicted from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when it was made a World Heritage site to protect the mountain gorillas. The Batwa Development Program now supports them.
