Tribes

Tribes: A tribe is a group of people who live and work together in a shared geographical area. A tribe has a common culture, dialect and religion. They also have a strong sense of unity. The tribe is usually headed by a chief. A tribal society is a group of tribes organized around kingships.

Usually two to three generations live together in small settlements or villages. Most families are related to one another and groups of such families form a tribe.

  •  Members of a tribe follow occupations such as hunting, gathering, farming, herding and fishing. Usually women do most of the agricultural work, including preparing the ground, sowing seeds, looking after the growing plants and harvesting grain. Children often look after plants, driving away animals and birds that might eat them. Women also thresh, husk and grind grain. Men usually lead large herds of animals in search of pasture. Children often look after small flocks. Both women and men make pots, baskets, tools and huts. They also take part in singing, dancing and decorating their huts.
  • Tribes have rich and unique cultural traditions, including their own language, music, stories, and painting. They also have their own gods and goddesses.
