Thank you for the answer.

What about [strike]iF[/strike] if I say : The Braves tribe is the most powerful tribe.

Or should I say "... are [strike]ther[/strike] the most powerful tribe"?

If you choose "The [name] tribe (singular)" then you follow it with the singular verb.

Take care to use correct capitalisation and punctuation in your posts.

Your use of "Braves" for a tribe name reminds me of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. You might want to reconsider the name.
