It gives me much pleasure to state that the honorable Commissioner has dealt "head-chieftainship" on this reserve a severe blow in allowing the agent to exercise discretionary powers, and approving recommendations in many instances, instead of submitting matters to the Indians in council.

Peer comment(s):

agree Julie Barber : Sitting Bull maybe ? :) I'd have thought your last sentence although I have a reservation if you pardon the word, that it's not some form of 'forest official' as per the asker's own category...

Well... over here (Canada), a lot of the country's wildlife/forest is still under First Nations' domain. Context should tell, but there is little.

I should have said "chiefdom over a reserve" or "a chiefdom with a reserve"...anyway, the links show how this all came to be (interesting that the same phrase seems to be used in a Canadian context as well as in Africa)

It also occurs simply as "chiefdom reserve"
