Hererodag

A day of remembrance and cultural celebration for the Herero people, commemorating the 1904-1908 genocide in which German colonial forces killed an estimated 80% of the Herero population. The Herero women wear distinctive Victorian-style dresses with horn-shaped hats (otjikaiva) that symbolize cattle, the measure of Herero wealth. The day includes a military-style parade through Okahandja, the political capital of the Herero, and the laying of wreaths at the graves of Herero chiefs Samuel Maharero and Hosea Kutako.
