Vietnamese to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. cuture
I am trying to translate a Vietnamese document into English. And I am stuck with the term "bộ lạc nguyên thuỷ ". I am going to use "primitive tribes", but I am not sure it. Is there something wrong with the way I translate?

Here is Vietnamese document: Những con đường phát triển khác nhau của văn hoá bản địa tại lưu vực sông Hồng, sông Mã, sông Cả v.v... hội tụ, hợp thành nền văn hoá Đông Sơn – thời kỳ ra đời nhà nước đầu tiên ở Việt Nam dưới hình thức cộng đồng, từ đó các bộ lạc nguyên thuỷ phát triển thành dân tộc.

And translated version: The different development paths of indigenous culture in the drainage basins of the Red River, Ma River, Ca River, etc converged into the formation of Dong Son Culture. This was the period that the first state in Vietnam was born under the form of a community, primitive tribes develop into a nation therefrom.
