1. chieftaincy

   Chieftaincy is a form of hierarchical political organization in non-industrial societies usually based on kinship, and in which formal leadership is monopolized by the legitimate senior members of select families or 'houses'. These leaders, typically referred to as chiefs, often have ultimate authority over certain aspects of social, political, or economic life within their societies. They often serve as the symbolic and cultural leaders of their communities, holding ceremonies and maintaining traditions.
