This website engages its readers in some current issues in theory in Indian Archaeology. This includes relevant poems, essays, literary criticism, film and art reviews, and some archaeology for the public.
It is heartening to hear from you again and to also hear that there was/is tribal sciince fiction. Of course we see a lot of mock 'tribes' - Take the Mad Max series - which is indeed a series that I have enjoyed however, they do, as you suggest, do place tribal life in a fantastic realm.
"Tribal" science fiction does exist as I read some of it 25-30 years ago. I think that, as a sub-genre, it was probably insufficiently well liked to become popular and hence had to change and in that process it moved from the realm of soft sci-fi to fantasy. Tribal fantasy is alive and well.

Dear Tom,
As yet, I have written not much of my tribal sci-fi. Yet, so far, what do you feel?
Good wishes.
