  1. indian chief

    An Indian Chief is a title given to a leader, elder, or a person of authority in Native American or Indigenous tribes or communities. The duties and roles of a chief may vary among tribes, but generally, they are tasked to make critical decisions, maintain peace, and safeguard the welfare of their tribe. This term is a European construct given to these Native leaders during colonial times. It's essential to note that not all Native American cultures traditionally had a hierarchical leadership structure, and many tribes had and continue to have a more communal and shared decision-making process.
