What Wikipedia says

A tribal chief, chieftain, or headman is a political leader of a social group commonly described as a tribe, clan, band, or confederation of tribes. Chiefs’ authority varies widely by society and context, and in many cases depends on consensus and customary legitimacy rather than coercive power.
