How were sachems different from pine tree chiefs?

Sachems were leaders of Native American tribes, often holding significant political and spiritual authority within their communities. They were typically chosen based on merit, lineage, or consensus among the tribe members. In contrast, pine tree chiefs were a specific term used in the context of certain tribes in New England, referring to leaders with a more ceremonial role, often associated with specific rituals or political agreements, such as the historical "Pine Tree Riot" in New Hampshire. Thus, while both held leadership roles, sachems had broader governance responsibilities, whereas pine tree chiefs had more specialized or symbolic functions.
