A is a sororrean, because he ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH
B is a narorean, because A said so
C is a midorean, because that's the only one left

I think this is right, but is A, B, and C supposed to represent the different tribes and they're each making 2 statements, which is why the numbers are there?

A = Narorean
B = Midorean
C = Sororean

It's hard to explain but if you make a grid with all the variables listing the 3 tribes, 3 attributes and 3 letters, you get a grid 9 x 9. Write down the tribe names, attributes and letters and write the same info. across the top. x out each square that is the same. For example, You have sororean going down, and across the top. You'd place an X where the names meet.
Then, starting with the first tribe, Sororean, you go across and put 0 in the squares you know are false. Sororean is NOT Midorean or Narorean. Then with the attributes you put an X in truth and 0 in false and alt. Continue doing this both across and down. Then you need to solve for A, B, C. I started with statement B with 1 being true and 2 being false so I filled in the Midorean as B with an X and put 0 in A and B. Then I read statement C. IF we assume that C1 is true, then fill in an X in C for Sarorean. And because Saroreans always tell the truth, then the Narorean must be A and your grid is complete!

Start with A. Assume A is a sororrean. Then, from A's second statement, B would be a Narorean, in which case B is lying when he says C is Narorean. This checks out, because we need C to be Midorean. C's first statement has to be false, b/c we already have A as the sororrean. Since C1 is false, C2 has to be true--oops that statement contradicts our original statement that A is sororrean. So this scenario is wrong.

Let's try again. Suppose A is Narorean. Then A2 is a lie, which means B must be Midorean and that would mean that B's first statement is true and his 2nd statement false. This checks out, because we need C to be Sororrean, which means C's statements are true, and they both check out.

You can check the other possibility if you like, that A is Midorean. But I'm satisfied that the solution is:

A-Narorean, B-Midorean, C-Sororrean

Sorrorean's speak the truth, so B is false, and C is true because C 2) says that A 1) is false.

A = Narorean
B = Midorean
C= Sorrorean
