== Demographics ==

''Population'': Uncertain. (No census figures.)


The Kamekame, so far as any outsider can tell, can be broadly said to be in three groups: 

-''Coastal'' Kamekame: The majority of the fisher-folk, lighters, divers and so on seen in Port Cochere come from coastal villages. ( http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/view-of-unspoiled-polynesian-fishing-village-in-a-scene-news-photo/507440037 ) They augment traditional Polynesian seagoing methods (celestial navigation, outriggers, shell-charts, etc) with modern compasses and so on. They have also adopted the coracle for lagoon-fishing. 

These Kamekame seem highly curious about others' seacraft. Some speculate that if it weren't for the problem of leaving Ile Trouve for too long, the worlds' merchant marines might be packed with Kamekame.

Others posit that they want to know how people get here, so they might pass knowledge of those methods on to other Kamekame who don't ''want'' those people here. The coastal Kamekame apparently are exempt from the daily "Singing out" ritual, though they also do not linger after the sun dips low in the sky.

-''Lowland'' Kamekame: These Kamekame come from lowland farming villages closer to town (trading farmed-goods and other goods handed down from the island’s highlands.) Many also act as porters, stevedores and so on, in town. 

(Perhaps, something like: http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/etexts/HenFiji/HenFijiP011a.jpg).

-''Highland'' Kamekame: Very little is known of the Kamekame who live in Ile Trouve's deep interior. And this is, apparently, how they wish it.
