who they are: They are Cajuns, descendants of French refugees who moved there from Canada in the 18th century.
what they eat: They eat okra, black-eyed peas, alligators, frogs and turtles.
alligator hunting season: The hunting season takes place in September and lasts for 30 days
hunting problems: While spotting the alligators under the water, hunters have to be careful to predict the alligator’s movements as they can easily do a death roll and spin wildly. Hunters are always on the lookout for other work as the price of alligator skin keeps changing.

The Kombaii are a tribe that live in tree houses in Papua New Guinea. Some of the houses are as high as 40 metres above the ground. These dwellings offer an escape from the heat and insects in the jungle below and protect the tribe against flooding during heavy rains. The Kombaii are a distinct ethnic group and have their own language and customs. They decorate their bodies with bones and many of them have got thorns through their noses. The men are hunters and have excellent hunting and fishing skills. They hunt wild boar and marsupials in the forest using their bows and arrows.
