aboriginal tribes
Original regional inhabitants
Aboriginal tribes are the indigenous peoples of a region, understood as organized social groups—those who inhabited a land before colonization or outside contact.
The phrase appears most often in historical, anthropological, or legal contexts: The treaty recognized the land rights of aboriginal tribes.
In Australian contexts, Aboriginal with a capital A refers specifically to Indigenous Australians.
