Chief is a rather broad term used to indicate someone in a position of authority. The title may be used as a military rank such as a Crew Chief, Petty Chief, and/or Chief Medical Officer, etc., but may also be used to identify the leader of a tribal clan, such as Native American tribes, African tribes, South American tribes, etc.

For example, Chief Rakos was the leader of a group of islanders on the island of Kola Kola in the South Pacific. He commanded the affairs of two women named Nona and Saloma, as well as a witch doctor named Bongo. [1]

An example of a Chief in an established military is Hitoyanagi, who was a Chief in the Japan Self-Defense Forces, and played an integral role in assisting the JSDF and their mecha weapon, Kiryu, against the threat of the daikaiju known as Godzilla. [2]

The head of a police department in a city or municipality is also addresed by the title of Chief. Warren Kincaid, for example, was the police chief of Lockport, Illinois. [3]

Chief Chirpa was a tribal chieftain and the leader of a nation of Ewoks on the planet Endor. Through his leadership, the Ewoks assisted the Alliance to Restore the Republic in their final battle against the armed troops of the First Galactic Empire.
