This reminds us to enter with humility,

to lower ourselves, 
* Preserve Adaawk as binding legal memory and record
and to listen before we speak.

* Provide a coherent national structure that cannot be fragmented or reinterpreted externally
* Support continuity across generations


This section is written in that spirit.

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.

Purpose

  • Affirm Ayaawk as the highest law of the Tsm’syen Nation
  • Preserve Adaawk as binding legal memory and record
  • Describe how Tsm’syen law governs people, lands, waters, and all beings
  • Provide a coherent national structure that cannot be fragmented or reinterpreted externally
  • Support continuity across generations

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