People of Mukuno village, traditional Batwa indigenous tribe from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda.

---

The traditional Batwa pygmies from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. With the help of the Batwa Development Program they have re-created a village in the forest on land they now own. They were indigenous forest nomads before they were evicted from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in the mid nineties when it was made a World Heritage site to protect the mountain gorillas.
