Tight-knit tribe (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clan

(Other definitions for clan that I've seen before include "Group with a tartan?" , "Group with common ancestor, like the Campbells" , "Group of families with common ancestor" , "Scottish tribe" , "Extended family as in Scotland" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
