Welcome to the river tribes main wiki space! On this we will update our progress and tell you a bit about our tribe and its inhabitants. Here is a story based on our river side settlement. please enjoy.... The story of the faithful river tribe....

== We are the Roma Wai, native tribe of the river. We are situated in northern waimakariri. We live in a small village sheltered by beautiful palms, oaks and pines. We are rich in resources such as trees, wood, grass and water. Our beautifully fresh water supplied to us by our faithful allies the mountain tribe is truly fresh. We are faithful to them beyond belief. Our native tribe of loyal warriors will face off against the sea and forest tribes. Thus regarding a loose alliance with the intelligent flatland tribe. Back at our camp we are not very good at sighting our enemies. This proves we need a beautifully built lookout on our well known eastern ridge.Our river that flows slow and provides us with a great supply of fresh water and also has a hand built bridge made of thick bamboo poles and covered with a roof of bark and banana tree leaves.But a river would not be complete without a raft.Made by our faithful friends down at the mountain camp they sent the amazingly made raft down stream and we saw them waving in the far of mount Thomas.We are a great trading town that swaps resources with fellow tribes and we also travel the main trading routes with our loyal horses.We never go without food as our forests are rich with honey trees which we harvest the most fine manuka once a year. Roma wai is the Maori name for river tribe.== Main elements are: WATER-From the river provides drink and water to boil and put food on. AND FISH-Catch from river and then you have a food source and burn skin on fire. We can also collect fire lighting materials/basic kindling found on bank. We have many places around to build camp, get food, sources to build huts, Hideaways and many other helpful sources. We also have access to fish and Fresh drinking water. We can boil our fish in water and also have dry wood to start A fire. We can make huts and small shelters with the large supply of wood around our camp Space. Bamboo and long sticks also lay around the rivers. There are plenty of large tropical trees to base over our main meeting hut. We could make a simple hut easily witch would be very helpful. As we have access to more than three very important resources this makes a great tribal camp. We have Wood, Water and Food we also have access to fire. We can rub old dead sticks together to Create friction witch will create heat and possibly fire. We can make basic fishing rods or spears using sticks and vines or possibly string if we could find it. Our river provides us with fish and water. The stones on the river bank may aid us with our fire and we may be able to make a basic stone shelter.
