What's the difference between a Village and a Tribe?

Tribe – people. Village – structures.

A tribe are all directly interrelated, whereas a village is like a town or city, but smaller. People of widely different genetic backgrounds may inhabit a village, but not a tribe. People of one tribe, however, could and do live in villages.

A tribe lives in a village.

I don’t think anyone could call Fluther a “Movement”. It doesn’t have one voice marching towards change in the world. It’s just a community.

@Sarcasm Although it does seem like there is an underground Frizzer movement that I just don’t get at all.

@lilikoi If you google underground Frizzer movement, the first listing links back to your answer here !

A village can have one or more tribes in it. Not the other way around.

@Zen_Again, Tribes can live in different villages.

I live in a hamlet. There are many socio-economic sub-cultures here.

A village is a space. A tribe is a people.

A tribe is related to each other in various ways. A village is a physical place to live. My family has lived in this village for over 220 years, but I have no relatives here. American society is like this, highly mobile. The “tribes” in this area came later than my family. My function now seems to be caring for the land and my ancestors graves.
