Since native American tribes have existed for many hundreds (if not thousands) of years, the idea that one tribe will only ever have had one leader is clearly false.
Secondly, native American tribes generally did not have just one chief in overall control - this is a commonly held but false idea. There were many levels of chieftainship, from temporary war party leaders to war chiefs, camp chiefs and councils of elders. Only very rarely did a chief gain enough power and support to command the entire "nation" as you call it.
Some leaders of the Nez Perce (at different levels of leadership) are:
- Old Chief Joseph (Tuekakas)
- Young Joseph (Hinmahtoo-yahlatkekht)
- Lawyer
- Peo-peo-mox-mox
- Owhi
- Kamiakin
- Olikut
- Toohoohoolsote
- Looking Glass
- Cool-cool-a-weela
- Yellow Bull (Chuslum-mox-mox)
- David Williams (Eelahweemah)
- Albert Waters
