*SubChiefs are not hereditary to the Kwina bloodline and nor are there any collateral descendent to Kwina, as they do not match as a direct descendent by code of Natural Law. Most of the "SubChiefs" are installs from the Catholic Church and these chiefs are known as ceremonial chiefs mistakenly called 'hereditary' at times when in fact, which is the big difference between legal hereditary royal Sovereign Qui-enich Kwina Chieftain of Lummi Nation, Salish Territory.
