tribal lifestyle
Indigenous group living
A tribal lifestyle is a way of living organized around kinship groups, shared customs, and communal land use—typically associated with indigenous or traditional societies before modernization.
The phrase sometimes appears neutrally in anthropology, but often carries romantic or primitivist overtones: They abandoned city life for a tribal lifestyle in the mountains.
It can also describe any close-knit community with strong group identity and shared practices.
