How were the Cherokee Indians leaders chosen?

Prior to the influence of European political styles, there were no 'leaders' as most would define the word. Cherokee like most other native American tribes had 'head men' who were selected by natural process of knowledge, wisdom, and respect (yes age played a part in this as you naturally become wiser with age - in most cases). But different headmen were more respected for certain areas. Shaman's for one thing, Warriors for others. When exposed to the European settlers, the settlers wanted to speak to the "one in charge" without understanding that there was no single leader; this lead to the concept of headman or Chief. Settlers were then confused further when 23 of them would arrive for talks. This is why many treaties will contain numerous names of native Americans. \like European or American Politics where corrupt politicians are tolerated, or considered normal. Being a leader in this type of system carried a heavy price and was not taken lightly.
