This section records the laws and legal orders of the Tsm’syen Nation.

Ayaawk are the living laws, responsibilities, and obligations that govern conduct, relationships, and authority. Adaawk are the authoritative historical and origin records that carry law, title, and jurisdiction across time.

Together, Ayaawk and Adaawk form a complete legal order.

This framework is not the voice of one person, one community, or one administration. It is a living national record drawn from the houses, clans, and tribes of the Tsm’syen.


This wiki records Tsm’syen law as a living system grounded in oral transmission, witnessing, Adaawk, and lived practice. Written sources are used where appropriate to support the record, but they do not replace living authority or community-held knowledge.

  • Describe how Tsm’syen law governs people, lands, waters, and all beings

  • Support continuity across generations

This is a living legal record. It grows through careful witnessing, recording, and consensus.
