In traditional Indigenous governance, decisions were made through discussion and consensus rather than by voting. Why did groups take the time to make decisions in this manner? Provide at least two reasons.

The groups took the time to make decisions in this manner as they valued the word of the tribe members.

Explanation:

1. Indigenous cutlers and governance were based around tribe rules.

So, the tribe would lay stress on the word of the elders and then on in terms of hierarchy but there was no hereditary king of the tribe.

All 'citizen' of the tribe were supposed to be a part of a close knit family and thus they had a say in the decisions.

2. It is also possible that this was due to less writing in the indigenous languages.

They relied more on the oral communication itself and thus the matters were discussed and not voted on by the members as the voice was incredible tool of persuasion.
