23 May 2011:

As a car stopped, they offered me a place to camp in their tribe. In NC, tribes are villages made up of extended family, and where much of the Kanak live. I figure I'll have a much more interesting experience camping in their tribe than some random campground. In started raining later, so I ended up tearing down the tent and sleeping in one of their houses.
