Answer to Question 1

In tribes, leadership is decided through kinship and also the institution of a bigman (a self-made individual); in chiefdoms, kinship plays a role, but the society has a centralized leadership. Thus, chiefly office is usually inherited and sustained by religious authority.

Answer to Question 2

It is a type of mediation found among the Kpelle in which an assembled group of kinsmen and neighbors come before a recognized mediator who hears all arguments and then comes to a consensus to resolve the dispute.
