The Karankawa Indians did have a Chief. In fact, the Chief could delegate a portion of his authority to other chiefs such as a war chief.

How many Cherokee left there land?

There were close to 16,000 Cherokees, including about 100 intermarried whites, 50 adopted Creeks, 100 adopted Natchez and 1500 black slaves rounded up and placed in internment campts during the months the government was preparing remove the Cherokees to leave their homeland. The internment camps were squalid and the Cherokees were poorly fed, often food they were unfamiliar with, such as wheat flour. Perhaps upward of 2000 Cherokee died before the removal began. Some Cherokees had gone west during the summer, which was known as the sickly season. During that portion of the forced migration, conducted by the U.S. military, about half of the 1000 Cherokees died before and right after arrival in the Indian Territory. Principal Chief John Ross sought and was granted permission to conduct the removal under Cherokee authority in the winter of 1838. The winter turned out to be colder than usual and disease followed the Cherokees at every stop, including small pox and cholera. Whites along the way also took advantage of the Cherokees, stealing their horses and meager belonging and overcharging for food. By the time the Cherokees arrived in Indian Territory, another 2000 had died along the Trail of Tears or immediately after arrival, bringing the total number of deaths directly attributable to the forced removal to 4,000 or 25 percent of the tribal population. Among the dead were many notable Cherokees including The Flee, Whitepath and Quatie, the wife of Chief John Ross.
