The term 'sagamore' is a title of leadership used by Native American tribes in the northeastern United States. It is similar to the title of SACHEM, which is a CHIEF or leader of a tribe, and is usually given to a respected elder. The term 'CHIEF' is also used to refer to a leader of a tribe, but it is not as specific as the term 'sagamore'. Both terms are used to describe a leader of a tribe, but the term 'sagamore' is more specific and is usually given to an elder who has earned respect from the tribe.
