Tribal art is a somewhat patronizing eurocentric term, that should generally be avoided in favour of Category:Indigenous art, IMO. Also, the categorization of Inuit art here in "Tribal" was completely wrong, as Inuit are not organized by "tribes." I am not that knowledgeable about African "tribal" art, but certainly for North American indigenous art, it would not be the preferred term. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:09, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
