clanspeople
Members of tribes
Clanspeople are members of a clan—a group united by kinship, common ancestry, or shared identity.
The term serves as a gender-neutral alternative to clansmen: The clanspeople gathered for their annual reunion.
It appears most often in contexts involving Scottish Highland clans or similar tribal structures.
