Today is the day the citizens of the United States vote for their president. Well did you know that the American Indians also vote for their leader? Some tribes chose their Chief in other ways but usually a Chief is chosen by a vote. They aren’t usually voted out though, unless they really do something that harms the tribe.
I don’t know of a single Chief within our tribe that was ever taken out as our Chief. I have often wondered if we call the president the Commander and Chief because of the American Indians or does that term come from something else? I need to see if I can find out how they came by that title. If you already know, please let me know.
