The Tribal circuit group carries the keynote of support. Its work is keeping a specific group of people alive and provided for: fed, housed, bonded, defended, and held to agreements that actually hold. It is the smallest of the three families, seven of the thirty-six channels, split between the Ego circuit (21-45, 26-44, 37-40, 19-49, 32-54) and the Defence circuit (27-50, 59-6).

Provenance: researched and cross-checked 22 August 2026 against Jovian Archive and humdes.com Sources: https://jovianarchive.com/pages/human-design-dictionary; https://jovianarchive.com/pages/what-is-circuitry-in-human-design; https://www.humdes.com/en/kb/circuitry/ Noted at time of writing: Jovian Archive's dictionary lists the group as "Tribal (Tribal and Defense)" while its circuitry page names the two halves Ego and Defense. Both refer to the same two sub-circuits; the entry uses Ego and Defence, which matches the existing library naming. Not yet reviewed by a certified practitioner.
