Tribe

A tribe is viewed, historically or developmentally, as a social group existing before the development of, or outside, states. A tribe is a distinct people, dependent on their land for their livelihood, who are largely self-sufficient, and not integrated into the national society. It is perhaps the term most readily understood and used by the general public. Stephen Corry, director of Survival International, the world's only organisation dedicated to indigenous rights, has defined tribal people as "those which have followed ways of life for many generations that are largely self-sufficient, and are clearly different from the mainstream and dominant society". This definition, however, would not apply in countries in the Middle East such as Iraq, where the entire population is a member of one tribe or another and therefore tribalism itself is dominant and mainstream.

There are an estimated one hundred and fifty million tribal individuals worldwide, constituting around forty percent of indigenous individuals. However, although nearly all tribal people are also indigenous, there are some who are not indigenous to the areas where they live now.

    Tribe (known as Going Tribal in the United States) is a documentary television series co-produced by the BBC and the Discovery Channel, and hosted by former British Royal Marine Bruce Parry.

    In each series, Parry visits a number of remote tribes in such locales as the Himalayas, Ethiopia, West Papua, Gabon and Mongolia, spending a month living and interacting with each society. While there, Parry adopts the methods and practices of his hosts, participating in their rituals and exploring their cultural norms. This often enables him to form personal bonds with the members of each tribe.

    Parry tries to learn the basics of the tribe's language but is also accompanied by a translator.

    The series is co-produced by BBC Wales and the Discovery Channel. A second series aired in July 2006 and the third began on 21 August 2007 on BBC Two, and ended on 25 September 2007. No further series have been made, though Parry's 2008 series, Amazon has a similar synopsis.

    Parry was awarded the BAFTA Cymru "Best On-Screen Presenter" award in 2008 for his work on the 'Penan' Episode. A BAFTA Cymru "Best Camera: Not Drama" award was also awarded for Gavin Searle's work in the same episode.

    TRIBAL

    by: P.O.D.

    chorus
    Where do you stand in this Battle Cry?
    Represent!
    I and I a Jah Jah warrior
    4x
    The reconstruction commences; the soldiers equip for the lessons
    My life, a sacrifice is made new through these confessions
    Manifested, this joy is my desire
    Light this fire to flames; praise the name, Jehovah Jireh
    Is my provider, the truth that lives inside of this fighter?
    Take me higher, Master, Sire makes me a good rider
    I'm gonna ride on down til I break through the front lines
    And ain't going home until I gets mines
    chorus
    I grab ahold of my second chance, this time gonna make it last
    Left the world came back an Outkast
    To lay among the remains, through the trials and the pains
    Run for cover, make shelter, uncharted terrains
    Bloodstains light the paths to the ways of living breath
    My soul is put to the test
    Blessed with a mic in my hand, Jah make straight my steps
    Then I hooked up with Payable On Death
    We flow in Unity, stand in One while the foolish be
    Lost in this hour, with Power we have Authority
    To overcome while these cowards just pick up and run
    We ain't done till this battle has been fought and won
    The victory, how sweet it be, is already ours
    Holding the stars, is the man that carries my scars
    Always the same, I wear his name with now shame
    Here in this Battle Cry, we will never die
    We will never die Tribal Warriors
    chorus
