Aveva trovato in mezzo al deserto un vasto paese ricco d'acqua, di prati e d'alberi e, involontariamente, senza che nessuno lo proponesse, invece di farvi una delle solite soste fugaci, aveva messo radice in quel paradiso, era stata avvinghiata dalla terra e non aveva più saputo staccarsene.

They had found, in the middle of the desert, a vast country rich in water, pastureland, and trees, and involuntarily without anyone proposing it, instead of one of their usual cursory breaks, had put down roots in this paradise, had clung to the earth and had not known any more how to detach themselves.

Discussion
Should the collective singular noun “tribù” be translated with singular (it) or plural (they) in English? I chose the latter.
