nomadic groups
People without settlements
Nomadic groups are communities that move from place to place rather than settling permanently in one location.
The term appears most often in anthropological and historical contexts, describing peoples who migrate seasonally for grazing, hunting, or trade: Nomadic groups followed the herds across the steppe.
The phrase emphasizes collective movement patterns rather than individual wandering.
