Tribal

"Tribal" can describe to a person (for example, a tribal chief), a culture (i.e. the Cherokee culture) or a society (for example, the Inuit tribal government) based upon or relating to, tribes or clans.

Tribalist as an attitude emphasizes ethnic identity or pride in a cultural sense, as opposed to folkish ideologies focused on race.

In popular culture, tribal refers to a type of design or image that is loosely influenced by artwork of indigenous peoples. Often "a tribal" has reference to a tattoo. "Tribal" can also refer to an overall design theme.

Tribal can also refer to tribal house, a subgenre of house music and to American Tribal Style Belly Dance.
