tribal tradition
Inherited communal ritual
Tribal tradition refers to customs, practices, beliefs, and knowledge passed down through generations within a tribal community.
These traditions encompass rituals, oral histories, spiritual practices, and social structures that define a group's cultural identity: The elders preserved tribal traditions through storytelling.
The phrase can also appear in broader contexts to describe any deeply rooted group practice: It's become a tribal tradition for fans to tailgate before home games.
