Principle
The Assembly exists to address matters affecting the Nation as a whole.
Explanation
Certain issues extend beyond the responsibility or capacity of a single house, clan, or community.
When harm, decision, or external pressure affects multiple territories, peoples, or shared interests, coordination at the national level may be required.
The Assembly provides a forum for recognition, discussion, and alignment of response while respecting existing authorities.
National involvement supports unity without displacing internal governance.
Limits
The Assembly does not erase house or clan responsibility. National action must remain grounded in ayaawx. Authority cannot exceed lawful scope.
