 Tribe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the popular imagination, tribes reflect a way of life that predates, and is more "natural", than that in modern states.
Thus, many believed that tribes organize links between families (including clans and lineages), and provide them with a social and ideological basis for solidarity that is in some way more limited than that of an "ethnic group" or of a "nation".
He concluded that tribes in general are characterized by fluid boundaries and heterogeneity, are not parochial, and are dynamic.

The tribe has two jobs, to protect the "us people" and their resources from outsiders and to get resources for the "us people" from within the tribal area, and from other tribal areas whenever that's feasible.
Tribes also form potentially peaceful economic alliances when the job to be done is too big for individual members of the alliance to handle by themselves, which is what the European Union is all about.
New tribes also form from smaller ones, as the Irish tribe formed from independent tribal kingdoms in an effort to resist the British invaders who were stealing resources from all Irish tribes.

 ICT [2000/08/16]  Kennewick Man DNA test unsuccessful
The DNA testing was ordered, over the protests of tribes, because extensive physical examination by a team of experts selected by McManamon in 1999 failed to come up with sufficient evidence to pinpoint affiliation, as per requirements of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
Although the Umatilla, Yakama, Wanapum, Nez Perce and Colville tribes have submitted extensive cultural data, including artifacts, oral histories and maps, showing the area in which Kennewick Man was discovered falls into their usual and accustomed territories, so far scientists at Interior remain unimpressed and unconvinced.
Biology doesn't prove culture, because you can adopt people into a tribe and people in the tribe can break their tribal affiliation and become affiliated with another tribe.

In return, the tribe has received a $33,185 rebate from Sierra Pacific for its investment in solar energy.
Sierra Pacific customers who install the photovoltaic panels are eligible for rebates based on watts of electricity produced, and 50 or so commercial and residential solar projects under construction statewide are eligible for a first-year rebate of $5 per watt produced.
Levi said the tribe used funds out of a federal Environmental Protection Agency tribal general assistance program to purchase the photovoltaic panels, and the rebate check from Sierra Pacific Power Co. covered about one-half of the total cost.

 Biology News: Tribe without names for numbers cannot count
He carried out studies with the Pirahã tribe, a hunter-gatherer group of about 200 people, whose counting system consists of words which mean, approximately, 'one', 'two' and 'many'.
Gordon designed a series of tasks to examine whether tribe members could precisely count and conceive of numbers beyond one or two, even if they lacked the words.
The tribe members struggled to perform these tasks accurately after the numbers were greater than three, Gordon reports in Science; and their performance got worse the higher the numbers climbed.

 Evolutionary Psychology - tribe.net
Evolutionary psychology is the approach of explaining human behavior based on the combination of evolutionary biology, anthropology, cognitive science, and the neurosciences.
Because virtually all tissue in living organisms is functionally organized, and because this organization is the product of evolution by natural selection, a major presumption of evolutionary psychology is that the brain, too, is functionally organized, and best understood in evolutionary perspective.
This idea that all cultural expression is really traceable back to biology is a kind of reductionism that invalidates the substantiveness of culture.
