TRIBE OF THE STINKERS

If you’ve read Elise Gravel’s (pictured Magali Le Huche) book “The Bramble Tribe”, then we’re sure you’ll want to take a ride through the awesome mud bath yourself. Fanette, Laurent, Lucy and the rest of the tribe’s children who live peacefully in the forest behind the Great Pine Mountains show us the way to a freer, more carefree and certainly more humane life. But what other insights does reading this book give us? The children of the tribe live in the forest, in little houses made of twigs, like those of birds. Could we all live in such houses? What other tribes made their homes with natural materials? We are looking for information about natural building and cob houses made from straw and clay. Tribal children clean the river of trash and reuse items giving them new uses. In other words, they apply the reduce, reuse, recycle principle.
