Tribal law was a collection of laws of the Amerind Amerind inhabitants.

In 2268, tribal law betrothed Tribal Priestess Miramanee, the daughter of the chief, to their tribe's leader, who in this case was an amnesiac Captain James T. Kirk who had been perceived as a god for saving the life of a boy by performing cardiopulmonary and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. However, Miramanee would have willingly stepped aside had Kirk been interested in someone else. According to her, a god's wish was above tribal law. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")
