The Five Stages of Tribal Culture

The five stages of tribal culture describe how groups develop their social cohesion and organization over time. 1. **Oral Tribe:** Members share stories and traditions orally, fostering a sense of identity. 2. **Shamanic Tribe:** Spiritual leaders (shamans) mediate between members and the spiritual world. 3. **Mythic Tribe:** Shared myths and rituals reinforce group values and unity. 4. **Division of Labor Tribe:** Specialization emerges, with different roles and responsibilities. 5. **Capitalist or Modern Tribe:** Members focus on individual achievement and economic growth, integrating diverse influences. These stages reflect evolving social structures and cultural complexity.
