Which Huron chief is held in higher regard by the tribe in The Deerslayer?

In The Last of the Mohicans, the most important Huron (also called Iroquois in the novel) chief is Rivenoak. Although he primarily appears as Deerslayer’s adversary, the author stresses his leadership qualities and commitment to his people, who recognize his effectiveness. He can use both military tactics and diplomacy with equal ease, and he exercises restraint or prudence more often than he acts in the heat of anger.
Rivenoak’s talents in negotiation are shown through his knowledge of chess. He also sees many qualities to admire in Deerslayer, such as his hunting skills and stamina. In fact, he believes Deerslayer would be an asset and suggests that Deerslayer become a Huron himself. Despite the ongoing antagonism with the British, Cooper also shows Rivenoak in a positive light. The British recognize the danger he presents and arrest him.
