== Sm’algyax ==
''Wii luu'wa'ayt'' wila wa'ayt dim 'nit dim t'oyaxs.

G̱m hana dzagyet:

* Dim wa'ayt wila dim laxyuup (authority) dim wila luu'wa'ayt (control).
* Simogyet, Sigidm ha'nak, adaawx, g̱anaw, wilp — dim wa'ayt 'nüüsm lax ayaawx, am'ga han'niiw.
* G̱m hana: am wa'ayt dim, am niidim dim, am luu'wa'ayt dim 'wa.

Luu'wa'ayt wila wa'ayt dim 'nit dim:

* Am wila g̱alt — dim g̱a'axws, dim g̱a'oot, dim g̱a'wa'ayt.
* Am wila 'wii ha'hl — dim g̱m siip, dim g̱m wila 'neex.
* Am wila amx — dim g̱anaw g̱m wilp, dim la̱xsiip, dim g̱m 'yool.

Ayaawx wila 'nüüsm:

* Authority is carried by responsibility.
* Power without duty becomes coercion.
* Coercion breaks witness legitimacy.

== English ==
“Dominate others” means using power to control people without lawful basis, without consent, and without accountability.

Under Ayaawx, there is a clear line between:

* **Lawful authority** — the right to speak or act, recognized by House, witnesses, and responsibilities.
* **Unlawful domination** — control used to force outcomes, silence others, or claim power without duty.

Domination is unlawful when it:

* Uses fear, pressure, threats, or manipulation to compel people.
* Overrides House processes, clan responsibilities, or community consent.
* Attempts to replace witness-recognized authority with personal control.

Ayaawx principle:
*Authority must be accountable; control without responsibility becomes harm.*

== Signs of Unlawful Domination ==
* Speaking “as if” one carries House authority when witnesses do not recognize it.
* Blocking others from speaking, testifying, or participating.
* Using systems (money, jobs, access, politics) to punish dissent.
* Claiming ownership over decisions that belong to the House, clan, or community.

== Lawful Correction ==
When domination appears, Ayaawx requires correction through:

* **Witness accountability** — naming what happened in public memory.
* **House review** — authority is examined against responsibilities.
* **Restoration** — repair of harm, not revenge.
* **Limits on authority** — temporary restriction of representation if trust is broken.
