Often the gentile chief is apotential chief through a period of probation. During this time heattends the meetings of the council, but takes no part in thedeliberations, and has no vote. At his installation, the council women invest him with an elaboratelyornamented tunic, place upon his head a chaplet of feathers, and paintthe gentile totem on his face. The sachem of the tribe then announcesto the people that the man has been made chief of the gens, andadmitted to the council. This is also fol...lowed by a festival. The sachem of the tribe is selected by the men belonging to thecouncil of the tribe. Formerly the sachemship inhered in the Beargens, but at present he is chosen from the Deer gens, from the fact, as the Wyandots say, that death has carried away all the wise men ofthe Bear gens. The chief of the Wolf gens is the herald and the sheriff of the tribe. He superintends the erection of the council-house and has the care ofit. He calls the council together in a formal manner when directed bythe sachem.
