Chief This is a word that is commonly given as a nickname which incorrectly labels Indian men. The cultural equivalent would be to nickname all white men 'Prez' or 'King'. The term 'chief' itself is incorrect. Indian leaders were never 'chiefs', but headmen, or clan mothers, and so on. Not 'chiefs'. Native leaders were highly disrespected by the USA. So calling someone 'Chief', is just a way to continue that disrespect....www.nativecircle.com

lordmonkeymouth 27-Dec-16, 05:13	I often refer to people as Chief when I don't recall their name.
hennybogan1953 27-Dec-16, 05:51	I agree.
hennybogan1953 27-Dec-16, 05:56	You are a thoughtful poster.
lordmonkeymouth 27-Dec-16, 06:02	Henny, I'm not sure if that post of mine was actually thoughtful, it was just an observation. Thank you anyway for the kind words.
