tribal unity
Collective group bond
Tribal unity refers to the cohesion and solidarity among members of a tribe or, more broadly, any group that shares a common identity, ancestry, or purpose.
The term emphasizes loyalty to one's own group and the bonds that hold it together.
In traditional contexts, tribal unity describes the collective strength of indigenous or ethnic communities; in modern usage, it often extends to any tightly knit faction—political, social, or cultural—that prioritizes internal allegiance over outside relationships.
The movement's success depended on tribal unity among its members.
