African Fish Trap
Web Page By: JaymesIt’s
made out of straw sticks. It’s brown in color. They put food in
so the fish will go in the fish trap. It doesn’t have decorations
because it is all brown. The tribe that uses
the trap is the Luo people in Tanzania and Kenya. This trap helps them
get food for their families. The Luo people eat mostly fish. They fish
in Lake Victoria. They live off of fish, vegetables, groundnuts,
coffee, sugar cane, and more. Music in the tribe is widely practiced in
Tanzania and Kenya, both day and night. Sometime people call them “lake
people.” They are the largest ethnic group in Kenya and Tanzania.  The
luo people that created the fish trap use it to catch small and large
fish. They live by Lake Victoria and made a fish trap to get their
food. They are mostly known as lake people because they catch lots of
fish. It is not worn because it goes in water so fish will swim in and
get caught because they can’t get out. They still use the fish trap in
Lake Victoria today.
