Chapter 293 (1/2)
Similar to the situation of most North American Indian tribes today, the chief of the Cherokee was hereditary. As long as there is no accident, a family member can inherit the title of tribal chief for a long time, and the name of each chief is the same.
Chieftain junaluska is the chieftain of the Cherokee people, who has inherited the title of chieftain for more than 200 years.
Junaluska means ”guardian of the vast earth” in Cherokee. From this name, we can see that this title should last for a long time, definitely more than 200 years.
In fact, as early as the Cherokee people lived in the Great Lakes region, the title of junaruska existed, which was awarded by the Cherokee chieftains at that time to the first Guardian tribal leader of the tribe.
At that time, the Cherokee people lived in the Great Lakes region, surrounded by vast plains, and even if there were mountains, they were mostly small hills. Therefore, when the first Guardian tribe who made great contributions was awarded, the title of ”guardian of the vast land” fell to the leader of the first Guardian tribe at that time.
Only two hundred years ago, the chieftain of the Cherokee people died suddenly, and there was no time to appoint his family's successor. Then the brave junaluska leader became the new chieftain of the Cherokee people, and has been handed down to this day
Now no one can explain the situation at that time. Anyway, the other three Royal Guard tribes supported junaruska as the new chief, so he became the new chief of the Cherokee people.
When talking with Hongyun, Shi Xiong once heard Hongyun mention this matter. At that time, high priest kabulu, who was the high priest of Cherokee, seemed to indicate that Cherokee was about to change. But he could not get the chief's trust at that time. So he took his people away from the tribal court and moved south to live at the foot of Dawu Mountain.
You should know that the location of the monongahira is almost the northernmost part of the territory controlled by the Cherokees, while the location of the gaoshu tribe is the southernmost part of the territory controlled by the Cherokees. Except for the core members of the gaoshu tribe, no one knows why the high priest kabulu had to move so far.
And the stone bear from later generations, after hearing Hongyun talk about it, he knows why.
However, it involves the inside story of the highest level of a tribe, and it's a little far away from the era of his own life, so Shi Xiong doesn't care about this kind of thing.
Today's chief junaluska is a man in his forties with a slight fat figure. His figure has been a little deformed due to his long-term care.
However, there is no way to do this. Who let the Cherokee people be the actual controllers of this land with an area of 100000 square kilometers? And the rest of the tribes around this land, with the exception of the Crees, are not able to compete with the Cherokees. And now the Cherokee don't plan to expand, so junaluska, as a chief, naturally becomes relaxed and fat
”You are the guardian of the high priest cabulu?” Junaluska calmly looked at the big man opposite, and asked in an emotionless voice after the respectful salute.
