• I'm guessing from the post that the OP would use 'indigenous cosmologies' in place of tribe.

    As mentioned above, I'm no sociologist, but as I understand it the term 'indigenous cosmologies' is an alternative to the term 'creation theory' or 'creation mythology' (i.e. a description of a belief system as to how the world and universe was created and why), rather than a term used to denote a self-identifying group of people. As usual, happy to be told I'm totes wrong and told what the real meaning of the term is. It does seem somewhat opaque given the etymology of the word 'cosmology'.
