Cacique is a term that the Portuguese and Spanish used at the time of the Great Maritime Navigation and Discovery (XV and XVI) to refer to the Indian chiefs of the tribes of America. This term originates from the Arawak of Haiti (cachique) and was adapted by the Spaniards, turning cacique.

In Brazil, each Indian nation uses a specific term to refer to political leader. Among the Tupi Indians, for example, terms are used murumuxaua, and tabixaba tuxaua. Since the Guaraní use the term more mburovixá.
