What you're talking about is called persistence hunting. I'm not sure which specific tribe or people you're thinking of, could it be the Kalahari Bushmen?

Another group which hunt in a similar way are the Tarahumara of Mexico. They're well known for their ability to run huge distances over long periods of time.
