ketua adat
customary leader


Explanation:

Pemimpin komunitas, mulai dari tingkat suku hingga negara, sering kali terbelah dua: pemimpin "sekuler" dan pemimpin "agama"/"adat". Jadi, kita sering menemui bahwa selain ketua suku atau kepala desa, ada ketua adat.

Tentu, ada saja komunitas yang ketua sukunya merangkap ketua adat, persis di abad pertengahan ketika banyak raja/ratu di Eropa merangkap kepala gereja seluruh kerajaan, atau masa kekhalifahan Islam ketika khalifah adalah pemimpin negara dan agama sekaligus.

Perhatikan KudoZ Prancis-Inggris berikut:

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/other/331005-che...

yang menunjukkan bahwa istilah Prancisnya adalah chef_coutumier, yang jika diterjemahkan secara harfiah adalah kepala tradisi atau ketua adat.
