To: Cacique

If it isn't too much of an imposition, what is a cacique? The Spanish dictionary doesn't have it.

Cacique is the Taino and Carib word for paramount chief. The Spaniards use it to alude to all paramount chiefs. It has also come into usage to mean "BOSS" a moniquer and apelation my father held. When he passed on I took the title as my web name. it is pronounced KA SI KE. A really good Spanish dictionary should have the word in it.
