"By instead thinking anew about actual Indigenous peoples and opening ourselves to their so-called “tribal” ways, we may stand our best chance of again becoming civil—and maybe even civilized."

"If I may end with a plea, it is that we stop calling our problem in the United States one of tribalism. To call politics in our era “tribal” is to project our own rancor and divisiveness onto societies that have rarely been as polarized as ours."
