Protection of Laxyuup for Future Generations
Laxyuup must be protected for future generations.
Protection of laxyuup is a continuing responsibility under Tsm’syen law. Present authority is exercised in trust for those yet to come.
Protection requires:
- stewardship that maintains the health of land, waters, and resources,
- restraint in use and extraction,
- prevention of irreversible harm,
- transmission of responsibilities through teaching and example.
Decisions affecting laxyuup must consider:
- long-term impacts,
- cumulative effects,
- continuity of rights and responsibilities,
- the ability of future generations to live lawfully on the land.
Short-term benefit does not justify lasting damage. Failure to protect laxyuup weakens law, authority, and continuity.
Care for the future is part of present responsibility.
