== Principle ==<br />
Authority over a territory carries **responsibilities**, not privileges.<br />
<br />
A house that holds authority is obligated to act for the well-being of the land, the people, and future generations.<br />
<br />
== Core Responsibilities ==<br />
A house holding territorial authority is responsible for:<br />
<br />
* **Protection of the land and its life** <br />
Safeguarding waters, animals, plants, and places from harm or misuse.<br />
<br />
* **Regulation of access and use** <br />
Determining how, when, and by whom the territory may be entered or used, according to law and protocol.<br />
<br />
* **Stewardship of subsistence resources** <br />
Ensuring food sources remain healthy, accessible, and sustainable <br />
(see: [[Subsistence Law]]).<br />
<br />
* **Prevention of harm** <br />
Acting to prevent damage, conflict, or exploitation within the territory.<br />
<br />
* **Response to violations** <br />
Addressing harm through lawful processes, including restoration or compensation <br />
(see: [[Restorative Justice]]).<br />
<br />
* **Hosting and protocol** <br />
Receiving others respectfully and lawfully when passage or use is permitted <br />
(see: [[Protocol and Hosting Law]]).<br />
<br />
== Accountability ==<br />
A house is accountable for how authority is exercised.<br />
<br />
Failure to meet these responsibilities may result in:<br />
* challenge by other houses<br />
* loss of recognition<br />
* requirement for restitution<br />
* reassignment of responsibility<br />
<br />
(see: [[Inter-House and Inter-Tribal Dispute Law]]).<br />
<br />
== Continuity of Responsibility ==<br />
These responsibilities continue through **names**, not individuals.<br />
<br />
When a name is taken:<br />
* obligations carry forward<br />
* authority does not reset<br />
* responsibility remains active<br />
<br />
(see: [[Names as Legal Continuity]]).<br />
<br />
== Scope ==<br />
This page records general responsibilities that accompany territorial authority.<br />
<br />
House-specific duties, case examples, and detailed applications are recorded elsewhere and continue to develop over time.<br />
