== Statement ==<br />
**Responsibility to land is collective and ongoing.**<br />
<br />
This principle defines how obligation to Laxyuup is held and carried under Tsm’syen law.<br />
<br />
== Meaning ==<br />
Responsibility to land does not rest with individuals alone and does not end with time, use, or benefit.<br />
<br />
Responsibility is:<br />
* Shared among houses and clans<br />
* Continuous across generations<br />
* Maintained through conduct, not claim<br />
<br />
No one stands outside responsibility to land.<br />
<br />
== Collective Responsibility ==<br />
Responsibility to land is held collectively.<br />
<br />
* Houses hold responsibility for their territories<br />
* Members act within the responsibility of their houses<br />
* Harm caused by one affects the standing of many<br />
* Collective responsibility reinforces accountability<br />
<br />
Land use is never purely individual.<br />
<br />
== Ongoing Obligation ==<br />
Responsibility to land does not expire.<br />
<br />
* Responsibility continues after use ends<br />
* Responsibility continues after leadership changes<br />
* Responsibility continues beyond lifetimes<br />
<br />
Past conduct remains relevant to present responsibility.<br />
<br />
== Responsibility and Harm ==<br />
Harm to land creates imbalance.<br />
<br />
* Harm must be acknowledged<br />
* Responsibility includes repair and restoration<br />
* Denial or avoidance prolongs imbalance<br />
* Repair is guided by ayaawx and witnessed practice<br />
<br />
Unaddressed harm weakens authority and trust.<br />
<br />
== Limits ==<br />
Responsibility sets limits on conduct.<br />
<br />
* Benefit does not erase obligation<br />
* Permission does not eliminate responsibility<br />
* Authority does not remove accountability<br />
* External approval does not replace obligation<br />
<br />
Responsibility remains even when control is shared or constrained.<br />
<br />
== Continuity ==<br />
Responsibility to land is passed on through teaching and practice.<br />
<br />
* Elders guide understanding of obligation<br />
* Youth are prepared to inherit responsibility<br />
* Continuity depends on memory and care<br />
<br />
The land remembers conduct, and responsibility follows.</div>Amusterer
