	Council Of Chiefs (Nauru) The Council of Chiefs was a Nauruan political body. It was formally established in 1927, and served as an advisory body to the Administrator. It was replaced in 1951 by the Nauru Local Government Council. History The Council of Chiefs has its early origin after the Nauruan Civil War and subsequent German annexation in 1888. Nauru District Officer Fritz Jung maintained an informal Council of Chiefs as a way of consulting with the Nauruan people. During Nauru's time as a German protectorate, the traditional Nauruan tribal social structure was largely intact. This arrangement remained until their autonomy was abrogated by the Nauru Island Agreement in 1919, after Nauru had become a League of Nations mandate.

	Great Council Of Chiefs The Great Council of Chiefs ''(Bose Levu Vakaturaga'' in Fijian) was a constitutional body in Fiji from 1876 to March 2012. In April 2007, the council was suspended, due to an unworkable relationship with Frank Bainimarama, leader of an "interim government" that came to power through military coup in December 2006. It was formally disestablished by decree in March 2012. It was different from the House of Chiefs, a larger body that includes all hereditary chiefs, although membership of the two bodies overlapped to a considerable extent. The Great Council of Chiefs in its most recent form was established under Section 116 of the now-defunct 1997 Constitution, but it actually predated the Constitution by many years, having been established by the British colonial rulers as an advisory body in 1876, two years after Fiji was ceded to the United Kingdom. Institutional history The Council was established in 1876 under the governorship of Sir Arthur Gordon. The decision was taken fo ...
