SKIDEGATE CONSTITUTION

Preamble Skidegate’s Family and Clans own the world. Potlatch memorializes the Titles of ownership of the global ecology. The ecology of ownership is expressed by domicile, utility, and order. Order is defined as the form and process of Human life within laws that are shared in common. This Constitution acknowledges Section 35 of Canada Act 1982, and the right to land and shelter is guaranteed on Aboriginal Title; the right to claim domicile is common. Utility is the product of an agreement between the right of the owner to her own use, and the right of any Individual to their use, set out in writing and witnessed. Ecology is the global system that provides our planetary domicile, offers fortune, and requires replenishment.

Skidegate Village administers the World according to the law set down by the Empire. Law is agreed to by Hereditary Governments, and duly Elected Governments, and affirmed by the Empress. Hereditary Government is the Matriarchy, with Title following the female lines.

The Canadian Land Title system provides for Aboriginal Titles and Indian Family rights in their indigenous and traditional land to be affirmed and recognized directly, without interference of a Band, or of the State. This Constitution authorizes Individuals to form Imperial Rights to lands by agreement with the registered landholders, to own the lands together in the Empire and to govern the lands and the world by Imperial law, under this Constitution.

Skidegate Land Title System requires present fee simple titleholders to follow the Constitution and recognize and affirm Indian Title, by endorsing their certificates of land title with the Title of the Indian Owner of their land, and with Skidegate’s Key to the Global Village. Registration and Membership in Skidegate increase local rights by adding international rights to National rights, with no alteration in National rights. Village Members hold Imperial Prerogatives over others in virtue of higher usage of ecology, subject to contract.

Colonial Representatives have time to recognize Skidegate and adjust to the Upper Chamber of the Hereditary Matriarchy, provided clear signals that Survivors and victims are receiving justice and being treated with dignity The Church most close and be disbanded. There is no need for imaginary authorities when truth is rigid enough. There is no excuse for visiting old men in side-rooms between the Hearth and Potlatch.

The task of replenishing Earth requires every hand so none is beyond redemption in the Empire, and all are called. Skidegate recognizes where we are and where we must head but to get there from here takes us all.

This is a Constitution of Conscience, authored out of conscience and depending on conscience for its reception and application.
