As we delve into its past, let us embark on a visual journey guided by intriguing hints. Our first clue lies in an exquisite map of East Africa from the early 20th century. It serves as a gateway to understanding how this region evolved over time, shaped by events such as the First World War. The badges proudly displayed on uniforms remind us of the colonies and dominions that fought alongside Britain during the Second World War. Intriguingly, we stumble upon a somber reminder etched in our minds - "Killed for meat rations for our Rhodesian native troops. " This stark statement sheds light on the sacrifices made during times of conflict and highlights the intertwined relationship between humans and animals. As archaeologists meticulously study ancient rock markings used for traditional games like Foruba, similar to solitaire, they unravel secrets hidden within these enigmatic symbols. These discoveries offer glimpses into cultural practices that have endured throughout generations. The British Colonial Empire left an indelible mark on Northern Rhodesia through institutions like The King's African Rifles. This military force played a significant role in shaping both local dynamics and broader colonial narratives. Venturing further back in time, we encounter Stella Court Treatt at Victoria Falls – her presence capturing the allure and grandeur of this natural wonder that mesmerized visitors then as it does now. Thomas A Glover's evocative artwork transports us across rivers on broken pontoons while showcasing everyday scenes like mealtime or encounters with locals Errol Hinds and Julius Mapata. Finally, we meet "The Story Teller, " who captivates listeners with tales passed down through generations – preserving oral traditions that form an integral part of Northern Rhodesia's rich cultural tapestry.
