Abstract:

Native American tribes such as the Sioux, Algonquian, Catawba, and Cherokee, contrary to popular belief, exhibited very democratic governing practices according to early accounts written by John Lawson from 1700 and 1701. By Lawson's accounts, most tribes possessed a hierarchy of leaders rather than one single leader.
