I’m not referring to the way a 1970's post-structuralists described people as becoming metaphorically tribals because they cheer for sports teams or watch TV. I’m asking about real examples of urban or agrarian people's actually becoming Native American–style, clan-based tribal societies

If you mean individual people, there are a ton of examples across American history. John Ross, the 7/8ths white Cherokee leader, might be one of the more famous examples - he got that ancestry because successive generations of Scots went native and married into his family.
If you mean whole peoples, this is called "civilizational collapse", but it happened too. Consider the fate of Cahokia.

There's never been a society that regressed on the same level of technological disparity from agrarian urbanites to hunter gatherer ooga boogas. Not even in antiquity.

I’m looking examples at the societal or community level(such as cities or villages) rather than individuals
