The mission of Tribal Action Group (TAG) is to provide support and assistance to indigenous tribal peoples based on internationally accepted standards of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. TAG is currently involved in supporting indigenous tribal peoples from South East Asia (sometimes called hill tribes). The word “tribal” is defined as: “a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a leader."
