Answer:
Depending on which African tribes you're talking about can vary the answer. Some African American tribes view land as something that everybody shares. and that everybody can use. Some that were affected by the British think of land as privately owned. I think the answer (Land was so important it was often controlled by a community's leader) is the correct answer to your question. I've never read anything about land being so important that it was controlled by the leader.
Good luck, I hope this helps.
