Political Organization
Decision Making
The decision were usually made by the tribal chiefs but they were not higher than the mother clan. The mother clan had the right to strip the of their duty if they went against the clan. Elders also played a huge role in decision making on the tribal leaders. The part time priests were also important due to their knowledge on ceremonies and religious acts so they were main decision makers in that field.
