''Category: Interpretation'' <br />
''Page status: Working''<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
To clarify that international standards recognizing Indigenous rights cannot replace the authority, responsibilities, and processes of ayaawx.<br />
<br />
== General Principle ==<br />
UNDRIP is not a substitute for ayaawx.<br />
<br />
== Explanation ==<br />
International declarations may affirm survival, dignity, and human rights. <br />
They can provide useful support in discussions with external governments. <br />
However, they do not carry the histories, relationships, and obligations embedded in Tsm’syen law.<br />
<br />
== Authority ==<br />
Lawful authority continues to arise from:<br />
* [[Laxyuup]]<br />
* [[Adaawx]]<br />
* [[Houses]]<br />
* [[Witnessed Practice]]<br />
* [[Elders]]<br />
* [[Recognized Knowledge Holders]]<br />
<br />
== Implications ==<br />
Reference to international norms may strengthen external advocacy. <br />
Internal governance must still follow ayaawx. <br />
No document replaces lived responsibility.<br />
<br />
== Limits ==<br />
Where international language aligns with ayaawx, it may be used constructively. <br />
Where differences exist, internal law governs.<br />
<br />
== Cross-References ==<br />
* [[External Instruments May Be Cited to Affirm Standing and Legitimacy]]<br />
* [[Citation Does Not Confer Interpretive Authority]]<br />
* [[Tsm’syen Law Remains Internally Interpreted and Applied]]</div>Amusterer
