tribelet

tribelet
A small tribe of Native Americans (diminutive of tribe); specifically; small independent groups of Native California people which shared a language and usually comprised of one principal village - larger groups possibly having several villages all in close proximity.

Kroeber’s emphasis on the small scale of indigenous California social organizations led him to attach the diminutive "-let" to the anthropologically normative term "tribe".
