Tribesmen are people ( men, women and children) who belong to a tribe.

A tribe is a grouping of people who share a common ancestry and who share common customs and traditions which are based in a shared cultural or ethnic identity. Members of a tribe are united under a common leadership and law. Members of a tribe possess strong cultural or ethnic identity and feeling of belonging and kinship that separates oneself as a member of one tribe from the member of another.

Tribes are usually composed of indigenous people, these are the people who are considered the original inhabitants of a land before settlers came in from other lands. Tribalism is the very first social system that human beings ever lived in and it has lasted much longer than any other kind of society to date.

There are thousands of tribes on earth and most of them came long before state or federal governments. It is possible, even likely, that you have a tribal heritage.

On the African continent, there are at least 75 different tribes.
