tribal settlement

Indigenous community site

A tribal settlement is a place where members of a tribe live together as a community, typically a village or cluster of dwellings sharing common territory and resources.

The term appears in anthropological and historical contexts: archaeological evidence of tribal settlements along the river.

In modern legal contexts, it may refer to land officially designated for indigenous peoples.
