  New tribalists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New tribalists believe that the tribe fulfills an important role in human life, and that the dissolution of tribalism with the spread of civilization has come to threaten the very survival of the species.
In one sense, the conscious syncretism of new tribalists is an outright piracy of native culture.
New tribalists respond to the Noble Savage criticism by pointing out that their philosophy is, on the most practical level, driven by a cost-benefit analysis between forms of civilization grounded in anthropology and ethnography, not by romantic notions of purity, or the naive belief that all civilization is bad.

 New Tribal Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a widespread idea among new tribalists that such people are "dropping out" or "abandoning" society - and, therefore, the revolution.
Others feel that one must simply adopt a new fundamental vision of humans and our place in the world, and let it take us in a more desirable direction (as Daniel Quinn stated, "beyond civilization is not some geographical space, but rather a cultural space").
Still others believe that civilization is going to collapse within our lifetimes, and that the best new tribalists can do is to learn survival skills, form a tribe, and be ready to escape to the wild when the time comes.

 Tribalism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Indeed, much of the political tension in modern societies is the conflict between the desire to organize a Nation-state using the tribal values of egalitarianism and unity and the simple fact that large societies are unavoidably impersonal and sometimes not amenable to small-society rules.
The new tribalists use the term "tribalism" not in its traditional, derogatory sense, but to refer to what they see as the defining characteristics of tribal life: namely, an open, egalitarian, classless and cooperative community, which can be characterized as Primitive communism.
New tribalists insist that this is, in fact, the natural state of humanity, and proven by two million years of human evolution.

 Bioregional democracy
Supporters claim that Ecoregional Democracy can better preserve what remains of indigenous culture[?] and indigenous language[?] and lifeways, and permit new tribalists to live in better harmony with the land.
Scientists claim that ecoregions are observed in nature rather than imposed by man. A natural border[?] or keystone species or soil type[?] or watershed or micro-climate[?] reflects local natural capital constraints in that region leading to a homeorhic statis.
This prompts support from indigenous peoples, ecologists, new tribalists and Green Parties and Gaians, who tend to believe that indigenous customs, constraints, language or even local jargon reflects the natural ecology, and so local cultural sovereignty[?] is critical to maintaining biodiversity.

 New tribalists

Critics of this movement, including some indigenous peoples, may regard leavers as interlopers or pirates of native culture, or seeking to dilute native sovereignty or threaten regard for native culture in general.

 Tribalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Even if they no longer associate the word with the primitive and the backward (see cultural evolution), they often view tribal society as backward-looking, narrow in outlook and riven with "artificial" strictures and divisions.
Perhaps in response to this attitude, groups formerly known as "tribes" may recast themselves as "First Nations" in North America, for example, or as "iwi" in New Zealand.
On the other hand, certain New Age groups aim at romantic revivals of certain aspects of perceived tribalism: community, ritual and shamanic theocracy.

Emerging theories of social evolution allowed Europeans to organize their new knowledge in a way that reflected and justified their increasing political and economic domination of others: colonized people were less-evolved, colonizing people were more evolved.
Current political theories of the new tribalists seem to be attempts to consciously mimic ecology and so-called primitive life-ways that have stood the test of time amongst indigenous peoples, augmenting them with modern sciences.

Quinn and his followers have often been clasified as new tribalists; however, that name does have some negative connotations arising from luddism and upholding the image of the noble savage, despite claims otherwise.
