The Changing Role of the Chief on a California Indian Reservation.

Miller, Virginia P.

American Indian Quarterly, v13 n4 p447-55 Fall 1989

Discusses the Yuki Indian chief's aboriginal role as leader, decision maker, and group coordinator and how that role, revived by Indian agents, served acculturation forces when the Yuki became reservation Indians. Describes how chiefs, relatively progressive and acculturated individuals, were effective middlemen between the agents and Indians. Contains 12 references. (DHP)
