The Berkeley Tribe was a radical counterculture weekly underground newspaper published in Berkeley, California from 1969 to 1972. It was formed after a staff dispute with Berkeley Barb publisher Max Scherr. In July 1969 some staff with the Barb went on strike, then started publishing the Berkeley Tribe as a rival paper. They incorporated as Red Mountain Tribe. It became a leading publication of the New Left. The Berkeley Tribe positioned itself as more radical, counter-cultural and politically astute than The Barb. The Tribe was published weekly from early July 1969 until Feb.1972 Then the feminist-run newspaper went biweekly for its final issues, folding in May.
