Authority over meaning
- Interpretation of Tsm’syen law belongs to the Tsm’syen
- Elders, houses, and lawful structures guide interpretation
- Meaning is derived from history, practice, and relationship
- External interpretation lacks lawful authority
TRANSLATION
Limits of language conversion
- Translation into other languages is explanatory, not authoritative
- Translated terms do not replace original concepts
- Loss of meaning through translation does not alter law
- Original language retains priority in interpretation
EXTERNAL FRAMES
Boundaries
- External legal, academic, or administrative frameworks do not control meaning
- Comparison does not imply equivalence
- Use of external terms does not import external authority
- Law is not validated by external recognition
RECORDING
Written and digital forms
- Recording law supports continuity and access
- Records do not freeze or redefine law
- Context must accompany recorded material
- Misuse of records undermines integrity
CONSENT
Use and reference
- Use of Tsm’syen law outside the Nation requires consent

REFUSAL
Lawful protection
- The Nation may refuse reinterpretation of its law
- Refusal preserves legal integrity
- Silence does not equal consent
- Protection of law is a lawful act
CONTINUITY
Safeguarding meaning
- Protection ensures continuity across generations
- Correct interpretation strengthens governance
- Teaching original meaning prevents erosion
- Law survives through careful protection
LIMITS
Boundaries
