intertribal warfare

Intertribal warfare refers to conflicts between different indigenous tribes or groups, often rooted in competition over resources such as land, water, or hunting grounds, or disputes over social, political, or territorial boundaries. These conflicts can involve organized battles, raids, or skirmishes, and may be driven by longstanding rivalries or efforts to defend community interests. While sometimes violent, intertribal warfare also served to establish dominance, negotiate alliances, or resolve disputes within complex social, cultural, and territorial contexts. Such conflicts reflect the dynamic relationships and survival strategies of many traditional societies.
