Leadership Specialization Among the Caddo and Their Neighbors of the Southeast

Author(s): Patrick Livingood

Year: 2017

Summary

One of the remarkable aspects about the Hasinai Caddo is the nature of their specialized leadership roles. This paper is going to take a comparative approach using ethnohistoric documents to examine the differences between the Caddo and their neighbors with regard to the types of specialized roles that exist, the types of divisions and circumscriptions on authority that exist for leaders, and the level of formality or informality in leadership function. The goal of the paper is to highlight what is and is not especially unique about the Hasinai Caddo.
