Consejo de Ancianos

The Consejo de Ancianos, or Council of Elders, refers to a traditional governing body often found in indigenous or local communities, particularly in Latin America. It is made up of respected older members who provide wisdom, guidance, and decision-making based on cultural values and historical knowledge. Their role is to address community issues, maintain traditions, and ensure harmony among members. The council’s influence can vary, from advisory roles to formal authority in local governance, reflecting the community's respect for age and experience in leadership.
