With the article being rather long, does it mention the particular tradition talked about here? I don’t doubt you’ve read it, I am just skeptical if it is a real tradition. And it’s hard to gauge that with no info
It does talk about leaders not owning their wealth as it was owned collectively by the tribe. No, it does not mention this specific tribe. I can’t find my anthro book either.
I could have remembered it wrong. I spent some more time poking around the Internet this morning about chiefdoms. I still couldn’t find the specific tribe, but I learned some other interesting things.
There does seem to be some romanticizing small groups and the concept of tribal communism. So there is definitely something to support your skepticism.
