The village headman or village chief () is a local government or tribal post. The village headman is the person appointed to administer an area that is often a single village. The headman has several official duties in the village, and is sometimes seen as a mediator in disputes and a general “fixer” of village or individuals problems. Examples of headmanship have been observed among the Zuni,〔Ruth Benedict. Patterns of Culture, New American Library, 1934〕 !Kung, and Mehinacu,〔Marvin Harris. Our Kind, Harper Perennial, 1989〕 among others. Nearby tribal leaders recognized or appointed by the Chinese were known as ''tusi'' (''tu-szu''; ), although they could command larger areas than a single village. == See also == * ''Dibao'' (''ti-pao'') or "headman", a Qing-era village official * Opperhoofd 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「village head」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
