Principle

Youth must be protected from premature burden.

Meaning

  • Responsibility must match readiness.
  • Burden placed too early causes harm to individuals and governance.
  • Protection supports proper development of judgment and conduct.

Protection

  • Protection includes shielding youth from responsibilities beyond their preparation.
  • Guidance and gradual exposure replace immediate expectation.
  • Protection preserves confidence, learning, and trust.

Preparation

  • Learning occurs through observation and participation before responsibility.
  • Readiness develops over time and through demonstrated conduct.
  • Preparation is relational and supported, not forced.

Consequences of Premature Burden

  • Increased error and loss of confidence.
  • Misunderstanding of law and responsibility.
  • Long-term weakening of governance and continuity.

Responsibility

  • Elders, Sim’oogit, and house members share responsibility for protection.
  • Protection is an act of care, not exclusion.
  • Proper protection strengthens the future line.

Limits

  • Protection does not imply permanent shielding.
  • Youth are not excluded from learning or participation.
  • Responsibility is assumed gradually and with guidance.
