Day sixteen: Day seventeen: Day eighteen: Day nineteen: Evening entertainment by the Pygmies (Batwa). The Batwa were once recognized as the owners of the high montane forest. The men used to hunt, and collect honey and other forest products, which were exchanged for village goods, while the women gathered vegetables, mushrooms and fruits as well as working for local farming people. At the end of the 19th century, when what is now southwest Uganda was part of the Kingdom of Rwanda, the Batwa, like their counterparts in Rwanda, Kivu and Burundi, were valued as court entertainers and soldiers. At the beginning of the 20th century some Batwa leaders became powerful enough to claim tribute from their neighbors. Since then however, as local farmers have cut down the forest, the Batwa have become destitute and despised. Most are entirely landless; they live as tenants or squatters on other peoples land', church or state land, and pay the landlord with their labour in exchange for food: collecting firewood and water and doing farm work. Those who do manage to get a little land are liable to be evicted by more powerful neighbors, and find it almost impossible to get redress. Dinner and overnight at Buhoma Homesteads /Buhoma Community bandas.
