Leadership in the Kristang Community

The Kristang community is exclusively servant-leadership oriented as a result of being one of the most egalitarian communities in the world. It is led by the singular non-hereditary Kabesa or Cowboy of Heaven and the Ka-Kabesa leadership heptad, consisting of the seven living past, current and future Kabesa, and three additional forms of leadership also further exist within the community: Kapitang or Indigenous Elders, Wedjatra or Rejuvenators, and Xamang-Krismatrang, Solarmancers or Progenitor Shamans.
