There's a tribe in Africa who are all less than four feet tall.
Hello.
1) There's a tribe in Africa who are all less than four feet tall.
Is this sentence grammatically correct? Especially I am not sure about "who" (can 'tribe' be who and plural?) and I am considering to replace it with "where all people":
2) There's a tribe in Africa where all people are all less than four feet tall.
Does it sound better?
