Everything about Cacique totally explained

Cacique or Cazique (female form: Cacica) is a term applied to the pre-Columbian tribal chiefs or leaders, predominantly in Latin America. The term is also often used in contemporary American literature (Momaday's House Made of Dawn for example) to refer to Native American group leaders in the United States.

Dispute

Some historians, such as Charles C. Mann in his book 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus (2005), have objected to the use of the term instead of "king" to refer to the Native American monarchs, even if it's widely employed for the leaders of the so called Barbars in European history – such as king of the Huns, the Franks, the Goths, and so on.
   Cacique is also the brand name for a liquor made in Costa Rica.
