<br />
== General Principle ==<br />
Elders may assist in interpreting law in modern contexts.<br />

Elders do not override houses or clans. <br />
Interpretation remains grounded in ayaawx and adaawx.<br />
<br />
== Responsibility ==<br />
Those receiving guidance remain responsible for their decisions and conduct.<br />
<br />
== Witness ==<br />
