customary leader
Pemimpin komunitas, mulai dari tingkat suku hingga negara, sering kali terbelah dua: pemimpin "sekuler" dan pemimpin "agama"/"adat". Jadi, kita sering menemui bahwa selain ketua suku atau kepala desa, ada ketua adat.
Tentu, ada saja komunitas yang ketua sukunya merangkap ketua adat, persis di abad pertengahan ketika banyak raja/ratu di Eropa merangkap kepala gereja seluruh kerajaan, atau masa kekhalifahan Islam ketika khalifah adalah pemimpin negara dan agama sekaligus.
