Law Stewardship prioritizes continuity over short-term gain.

Explanation Stewardship is the active responsibility to maintain laxyuup over time. Decisions are measured by their effects on future generations. Immediate benefit does not justify long-term harm.

Standard Use must allow renewal, recovery, and ongoing relationship. Actions that undermine continuity weaken law and governance. Profit or convenience cannot override responsibility.

Effect Lawful stewardship sustains the people, land, and law together. Failure of stewardship creates imbalance that carries forward.
