By Loyalty and Trust.

Native American rulers did not 'seek' power over others, it was a natural order of things in that they supported and worked for the tribe, they then became leaders as their efforts proved their worth (the exact opposite of modern politics). Imagine for a moment that it was still legal to kill an American politician for violating his oath of office, breaking the law, or undermining the rights of the people they are supposed to protect - I think there would be a lot of dead politicians in the United States.
