_________________________________________________
Based on the definitions I would Argue that while the words are technically interchangeable, Tribe is more suited to seekers because of the large size of their groups. However, Keepers are supposed to keep to relatively small family groups and as such would fit into the idea of a clan more.
Also of note: The character creator says to pick your "clan" no matter what race you choose, so I don't think that is any implication on lore.
