The study discusses leadership among eight indigenous groups, identifying various titles used, sources of authority, roles and functions and the shifts from traditional to current leadership practices.

IP leadership structures and practices can be used in enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of formal governance process. Furthermore, political and administrative leaders may instead reflect upon the high standards of IP leadership-merit and fitness should always prevail.
