Spanish term (edited):
defender mucho la sangre
uphold the traditions of their forefathers
This is my interpretation. 'Uphold' is a strong enough word to subsume the meaning of "mucho."

defend their tribal identity / tribal integrity
Although you may not want to use "identity" twice in the same sentence I think it is the best word as "defend the tribe" and "defend the existence of the tribe" sound prtty goofy. "Defend tribal integrity" might work. Examples: Also significant is the way in which an indigenous or tribal identity asserts the unity of .... and articulate, substantiate, and defend their claims. ...

to strongly defend their own (kind)
Sorry to get here so late!
Personally, I prefer "to strongly defend their own". "Kind" is optional.

to safeguard their heritage
I'd avoid anything connoting "race". If the client is an international organization, a development-oriented NGO or something similar, the chances are high that they'll strike it out (in my experience).
Best of luck.
