clan territories
Group-held ancestral grounds
Clan territories are areas of land claimed and controlled by a particular clan—an extended family group or tribal division.
The term appears most often in discussions of Scottish Highland clans, Indigenous peoples, or fictional worlds where family-based groups hold ancestral lands.
The war began when raiders crossed into rival clan territories.
