Americans are not tribalists. They are individuals, who often don't like to be in groups of any kind. This is why we go out and make our lives and not wait for
"the tribal elders" to say its OK. We don't have tribal elders, just ourselves. Do we want to start a business? We go and do it. Do we want to be on welfare? No. Do think we are privileged? No. We are Americans. We act alone, if necessary. Are we rugged? I guess so, but that has not come up a lot recently. Could we find our way out of the woods with a compass? Probably. I am a snow person, for sure, and love that designation. I don't even mind shoveling it!! (I'm talking snow, here, guys!)
There are many tribes in America. YOU were taught not to be in one, and that being in one is sick and wrong. Meanwhile, everyone else has teamed up against you, and you're not in a group.

E.x.a.c.t.l.y.
Other than Native Americans, name the tribes.
You don't see people grouping together culturally?
Of course, I mean actual tribes, who make the rules of how you should live, who you should marry, etc. Tribes.
