Biter bothered native group (5)

I believe the answer is:

tribe

'native group' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'biter bothered' is the wordplay.
'bothered' indicates an anagram.
'biter' is an anagram of 'TRIBE'.

(Other definitions for tribe that I've seen before include "Social division" , "Group of related families" , "Traditional social group" , "Israelites' division" , "Cultural society division" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
