The collective noun is a tribe of natives.
The use of the collective noun 'tribe' has a negative connotation for some people as a demeaning term. However, a tribe of natives can be natives of any type from anywhere. Most of my family are natives to the area in the US where I live, but there is a group that settled in the state of Wisconsin and a group that settled in California. We are often in touch with them and feel free to refer to each other as the Milwaukee tribe or the California tribe. A branch of our family emigrated from the Isle of Man (UK) by the surname of Christian. There are descendants of Christians from the Isle of Man living all over the world. The 'Christians' from the Isle of Man did not originate there, they were immigrants to the island centuries ago and labeled Christians based on their religion. Most groups of people labeled as 'natives' such as native Americans, Australian aboriginals, or the nomads of Mongolia all originated from another place before history was written. Any of us can be a native of somewhere at a given point in time.

∙ 11y agoSome example collective nouns for the sentence:
We saw a group of natives performing in a ritual.
There was a company of natives performing in a ritual.
A family of natives was performing in a ritual to greet us.
Note: Whatever source your question came from is most likely looking for the collective noun 'tribe'. That collective noun would be a biased, shortsighted assumption that a native automatically means a primitive tribe. A poor choice to answer that question. If that is the 'correct' answer according to your source, that source should get a very poor grade.
The term 'natives performing a ritual' can mean elegantly dressed hosts or hostesses performing the Japanese tea ceremony; a group of native Hawaiians greeting visitors by placing a traditional lei around the neck of each visitor, or serving a foreigner visiting the US a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, many native cultures around the world still practice a ritual serving of food to greet visitors.
