nomadic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unsettled tribes' is the definition.
'nomadic' can be an answer for 'unsettled' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'tribes' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nomadic that I've seen before include "It's just like Rover" , "Given to wandering like travellers or Bedouins" , "Not settled" , "Perhaps unsettling" , "constantly moving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
