Category: Tsm’syen Law<br />
Page status: Working<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
This entry affirms that houses (wilp / waap) hold primary jurisdiction over matters internal to the house. Responsibility, authority, and restoration begin at the house level unless lawful conditions require movement to another level.<br />
<br />
== Core Principle ==<br />
'''Houses have jurisdiction over internal house matters.'''<br />
<br />
== Meaning ==<br />
Internal house matters include issues that arise from:<br />
* Conduct of house members<br />
* Responsibilities carried by house names or crests<br />
* Internal relationships, obligations, and accountability<br />
* Matters whose effects are contained within the house<br />
<br />
Such matters are properly addressed by the house itself.<br />
<br />
== Basis of House Jurisdiction ==<br />
House jurisdiction is grounded in:<br />
* Ayaawx governing house responsibility<br />
* Relationship among house members<br />
* Knowledge of house history and adaawk<br />
* Capacity to witness, repair, and restore balance internally<br />
<br />
Jurisdiction arises from responsibility, not preference.<br />
<br />
== Limits of House Jurisdiction ==<br />
House jurisdiction is limited when:<br />
* Harm extends beyond the house<br />
* Inter-house relationships are affected<br />
* Restoration cannot be achieved internally<br />
* Persistent refusal undermines lawful resolution<br />
<br />
In such cases, the matter may move to a broader level.<br />
<br />
== Relationship to Elders ==<br />
Elders may:<br />
* Offer guidance<br />
* Assist in interpretation<br />
* Support restoration<br />
<br />
Elders do not replace house responsibility or assume house jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
== Relationship to Witnessing ==<br />
House jurisdiction includes the duty to ensure:<br />
* Acknowledgment of harm<br />
* Acceptance of responsibility<br />
* Appropriate witnessing<br />
* Preservation of public memory where required<br />
<br />
Private handling that avoids witnessing may be incomplete.<br />
<br />
== Continuity ==<br />
By recognizing house jurisdiction over internal matters, Tsm’syen law preserves responsibility at its proper level and strengthens continuity through lived accountability.<br />
