Responsibilities Are Fulfilled

Authority under Tsm’syen law exists only where responsibilities are fulfilled.

Rights, names, crests, and positions carry duties that must be actively upheld.

Meaning

Responsibilities include:

  • Care for people, land, and waters
  • Fulfillment of house and clan obligations
  • Lawful exercise of authority
  • Accountability for decisions and actions
  • Correction of harm when it occurs

Responsibility is not symbolic. It is demonstrated through conduct.

Legal Principle

Authority without responsibility has no standing.

Under Ayaawk:

  • Responsibility precedes authority
  • Responsibility limits authority
  • Responsibility sustains legitimacy

Where responsibility is neglected, authority weakens.

Fulfillment

Responsibilities are fulfilled through:

  • Ongoing care and presence
  • Lawful decision-making
  • Transparency before witnesses
  • Willingness to be corrected
  • Respect for house, community, and shared law

Fulfillment is continuous, not occasional.

Failure

Failure to fulfill responsibilities includes:

  • Neglect of care obligations
  • Misuse of authority or crests
  • Avoidance of accountability
  • Acting beyond lawful scope
  • Prioritizing personal or external interests

Such failure invites lawful correction.

Correction

When responsibilities are not fulfilled:

  • Roles may be rebalanced
  • Authority may be limited or withdrawn
  • Duties may be reassigned
  • Processes may be restored through Ayaawk

Correction restores balance. It is not punishment for its own sake.

  • Authority remains legitimate
  • Houses remain strong
  • The Nation remains whole

Tsm’syen law endures because responsibility is carried forward.
