Are nomads a type of ethnic group?

In: History, Politics & Society [Edit categories]

Answer:

A nomad is someone who has no fixed residence. If you consider the lifestyle of gypsies or Native tribes that lived in the plains region of the US - they had prefered regions but not fixed residences. Following the buffalo for meat was their priority.

So to truly answer your question - it can be an individual or an ethnic group.
