<br />
=== Purpose ===<br />
This entry records the principle that harm creates imbalance within individuals, houses, clans, land, and relationships. <br />
Justice within Tsm’syen law responds to imbalance, not abstract wrongdoing.<br />
<br />
=== General principle ===<br />
Harm creates imbalance.<br />
Imbalance disrupts relationships, responsibilities, and social order.<br />
<br />
Justice seeks to restore balance.<br />
Punishment alone does not restore balance.<br />
<br />
=== Nature of harm ===<br />
Harm may affect:<br />
* Individuals<br />
* Houses<br />
* Clans<br />
* The wider Nation<br />
* Land, waters, and living systems<br />
* Relationships between parties<br />
<br />
Harm is understood in social, cultural, and spiritual terms.<br />
Material damage is not the only measure of harm.<br />
<br />
=== Recognition ===<br />
Recognition of harm is the first step toward restoration.<br />
Harm must be named and acknowledged.<br />
<br />
Denial, concealment, or minimization of harm prevents resolution.<br />
Unrecognized harm continues imbalance.<br />
<br />
=== Responsibility ===<br />
Responsibility arises from causing harm.<br />
Responsibility includes acknowledgment of actions and consequences.<br />
<br />
Responsibility is both individual and collective.<br />
Houses share responsibility for restoring balance.<br />
<br />
Avoidance of responsibility prolongs imbalance.<br />
<br />
=== Restoration ===<br />
Restoration responds to imbalance.<br />
Restoration seeks to repair what has been damaged.<br />
<br />
Repair may include:<br />
* Apology<br />
* Compensation<br />
* Service<br />
* Correction of conduct<br />
* Other actions guided by ayaawx<br />
<br />
Restoration is measured by restored balance, not by punishment imposed.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
Unresolved harm carries forward.<br />
Imbalance left unaddressed weakens trust and law.<br />
<br />
Addressing harm strengthens relationships and the Nation.<br />
