* ''Literature/{{Incandescence}}'': [[spoiler:The Splinterites, insectoid aliens who live in [[SmallSecludedWorld tunnels in a small meteor]], make contact with other members of their species who live in similar meteors orbiting the same black hole. Eventually they develop interstellar travel and become the Aloof, a civilization that discourages members of other species from going near the center of the galaxy because it's too dangerous. But they failed to discover one rock, whose inhabitants lived for millions of years in total ignorance of the world outside their little world until they are discovered by Rakesh and Parantham.]]

The Lost Tribe are an (Indigenous) ethnic group that live in (almost) complete isolation from the outside world, oblivious to the existence of global civilization, modern technology, and other contemporary concepts. In realistic stories, they may live in a remote WildWilderness that is inaccessible to most outsiders. In a fantasy story, they may live in a LostWorld.

* In ''Literature/SmallGods'', Fasta Benj is a member of an isolated tribe of marsh-dwelling nomads with no concept of fire, metal, or war, which might have stayed that way if Fasta Benj hadn't been fishing when his boat got caught up in the wake of a massive fleet. After his god made him promise not to wage war (which was explained to him as like Pacha Moj hitting his uncle in the head with a rock, but worse), he left with metal, knowledge of fire, and some confusion about why lots of people would want to hit Pacha Moj's uncle.

* ''Literature/IslandsEnd'' has the En-ge of the Andaman Islands, who used to live on a large island with a bunch of other tribes. An offshoot of the tribe that included Uido's grandparents moved to a smaller, more isolated island to escape modern influence, where they've been living in almost total isolation ever since. Uido travels by canoe back to the larger island with her sick brother so he can be treated in a hospital. While there, she learns that the original branch of the En-ge died out, meaning her people are the only ones left.

Over time, her descendants became (all female) Force users, or the so-called "witches". Since then, they were cut off from the rest of the galaxy and developed on their own.

* The eponymous kingdom in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' is populated by natives who guard it from outsiders (and presumably maintain the {{Durable Deathtrap}}s).



* Perhaps the best example of this trope in real life are the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese Sentinelese]] tribe, which may very well be the most isolated group of indigenous people on Earth. They live on North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Islands of India, living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle that hasn't changed much since the Stone Age. They violently reject all attempts at contact, shooting at any outsiders with arrows. Because of that, we know next to nothing about them, including their culture, language, and religion. The last official attempt at contact was made in the mid 1990s, and since then they've been left alone, and it's very unlikely that will change anytime soon. Indian law forbids any attempt to come within an exclusion zone around the island, both for the protection of the tribespeople given they haven't been exposed to many infectious diseases, and because they tend to kill outsiders who land on their island even by accident. [[TheRemnant Their numbers may or may not have been culled considerably by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami]], but good luck trying to find out yourself. The last person to set foot on the island, a Chinese-American Christian missionary named John Allen Chau in late 2018, was killed by the natives when he trespassed and refused to leave.
* Lost tribes of Native North Americans are found all the time. They live like modern people and are really not all that different.
* Previously unknown offshoots of the Jewish diaspora show up every decade or so.
