Tribal leaders (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elders

'tribal leaders' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elders that I've seen before include "Older trees?" , "Sage" , "Officers in some churches" , "Better and wiser people?" , "plants?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
