The fact, "simpliciter", that the parties to an instrument are described as "assignor" and "assignee" does not make the instrument, which in substance is a sub-agreement of sale, an assignment. There is no privity of contract between the head-vendor and a sub-purchaser.

The man who became chief was the one who proved best qualified to ensure his group's survival. As the Amerindians usually lived scattered throughout the forest, this role often fell upon the male head of a family if the need was felt. This leadership was based on wisdom and experience, rather than authority. The chieftainship was also handed down from father to son, with the agreement of the other members of the group. 1, record 6, English, - chieftainship

Chez les Attikameks d'autrefois, la chefferie n'existait pas sous la forme qu'on lui connaît aujourd'hui. Devenait chef celui qui se révélait le plus apte à assurer la survie de son groupe. Comme les Amérindiens vivaient le plus souvent dispersés dans la forêt, ce rôle revenait fréquemment aux patriarches familiaux si le besoin s'en faisait sentir. La sagesse et l'expérience, plus que l'autorité, constituaient la base de ce leadership. La chefferie se transmettait généralement de père en fils avec l'accord des autres membres du groupe. 1, record 6, French, - chefferie
