Italian term or phrase: La localizzazione e le vicende delle tribù nomadi
Hi everyone!
I need to translate this sentence. It's the title of a paragraph of a text (in the content).

My attempt is: the localization and the events of the nomadic tribes.

Do you think it works?
Thank you!

The lands and history of nomadic tribes
Explanation:
"Vicende" literally means "events". In this context I believe it means "historical events" pertaining to nomadic tribes.
"Localizzazione" means the geographical locations/places/sites/lands/territories of said nomadic tribes habitually frequented.

Where are and how nomadic tribes lived


Explanation:
traditions, customs, and where they lived. Better to use plain language in this context from my experience. If clear from the context, you can also leave out Nomadic tribes and just have Where and how they lived or Where they lived and what they did.

I mean Where and how nomadic tribes lived, please disregard the "are" :-)
