I have been in this situation. Problems will occur at some time-either now, or down the raod.

We have two now-and here is how it works. And IMO it is a flawless operation:

You only need one CHIEF. Everyone else must be Indians. When they joinit must be stressed that they are Indians. They must realize that there are not two chiefs.

As chief you must let them know exactly what is expected of them.

As chief you must be fair, but you must also be firm.

You are going to have to be an axxhole every now and then. I you are not willing be an axxhole every now and then, THEN DO NOT DO IT.

If you establish a good relationship with your Indians-then it can be a blast. If you do not establish the right relationship-then it will be a nightmare.

I am an Indian in two different club's- and we have a blast. Our chief makes's thing clear(he is a lawyer). I know exactly what is expected of me every year.

My best advice I can give you is DO NOT do it with your best friend or friend's(unless they fully embrace the role of Indian). Tom.
