<br />
House authority is foundational in Tsm’syen law.<br />
<br />
No council, office, program, or external structure may replace, override, or absorb the lawful authority of a house.<br />
<br />
== Meaning ==<br />
House authority arises from Adaawk, names, crests, and witnessed responsibility.<br />
<br />
It includes:<br />
<br />
* Responsibility for members<br />
* Stewardship of territory<br />
* Care obligations<br />
* Representation in law and decision-making<br />
* Accountability for harm and correction<br />
<br />
This authority is not delegated upward.<br />
It is carried and exercised at the house level.<br />
<br />
== Legal Principle ==<br />
Governance structures exist to coordinate houses — not to replace them.<br />
<br />
Any system that substitutes centralized authority for house responsibility violates Ayaawk.<br />
<br />
House authority must remain:<br />
<br />
* Distinct<br />
* Recognized<br />
* Operational<br />
* Accountable to witnesses<br />
<br />
== Prohibited Substitutions ==<br />
The following actions constitute unlawful replacement of house authority:<br />
<br />
* Making decisions about house members without house involvement<br />
* Speaking on behalf of a house without lawful mandate<br />
* Centralizing care, discipline, or representation away from houses<br />
* Treating houses as symbolic rather than governing bodies<br />
* Bypassing house processes for administrative convenience<br />
<br />
Efficiency does not justify displacement of law.<br />
<br />
== Councils and Administration ==<br />
Councils, boards, and administrative bodies:<br />
<br />
* Support coordination<br />
* Facilitate shared action<br />
* Carry delegated tasks only<br />
<br />
They do not:<br />
<br />
* Hold inherent authority over houses<br />
* Override house decisions<br />
* Redefine house responsibilities<br />
* Absorb house jurisdiction<br />
<br />
Authority flows through houses, not around them.<br />
<br />
== Correction ==<br />
When house authority is replaced or bypassed:<br />
<br />
* Legitimacy is weakened<br />
* Responsibility becomes unclear<br />
* Abuse of power becomes possible<br />
* External systems gain influence<br />
<br />
Such actions invite correction under Ayaawk, including rebalancing of roles and withdrawal of authority.<br />
<br />
== Continuity ==<br />
Houses ensure continuity across generations.<br />
<br />
Without them:<br />
<br />
* Law becomes abstract<br />
* Care becomes transactional<br />
* Authority becomes personal or political<br />
* Memory and accountability erode<br />
<br />
Protecting house authority protects the Nation.<br />
