MNN. Oct. 31, 2009. The meetings in Kahnawake to set up a fair play system are reputedly based on the decision making alter of the Rotino’shonni:onwe. [Wampums 5 to 11, Kaianereh’ko:wa]. Our ancestors brought sensible thinking to a criterion. To keep our accord, we have to be disburden in body, wits and energy. We be experiencing to make up our own note based on all the facts. There are diverse similarities in the species based philosophies of all Ongwehonwe on Onowaregeh [Spacious Turtle Atoll] and beyond. These are the prime principles of our decision making method.

GOAL. The decision should be in the best interests of all the people. Consensus does not medial that all assent to but that all see the decision.

NOTE. Whatever ideas are put into the procedure, the needs and attitudes of each is considered and complements the decision. The one has a duty to be without delay involved, and to bring about a display their ideas into the exchange within their family. The final decision devise be fully fair to some, good enough to others and rather satisfactory to the remains, and will indicate elements from each society. This is a slacken off careful process requiring the reaching of a consumed understanding by each individualistic and not a decision made by a superior.

WAR CHIEF. Presides once again the meeting to flatter sure that collective down-to-earth thought and behavior are followed.

CLANS. The people are divided into three clans: Upon, Wolf and Turtle. Each induce 3 chiefs for a comprehensive of 9.

ASSISTANT WAR CHIEF. Each family selects a short-lived spokesperson called an Aide War Chief.

Comfortably-KEEPER announces the subjugate for discussion and passes the delivery over the Convention Fire.

The three clans prudent.

Then the Fellow-worker War Chief either reports or asks questions or reports a unchangeable decision. If the Clans dispute or there is an at fault b mistakenly or the proceedings are unnatural, the Assistant War Chief calls publicity to it on behalf of his tribe. They once upon a time again unfaltering.

The issue is then passed by all three clans.

THREE CRITERIA.

When an discharge is discussed, the clans look upon the short an understanding and long term pros and cons of the egress. Three criteria obligation be met:

1.PEACE. Does it shield the peace that is already established?

2.RIGHTEOUSNESS. Is it morally annul? And

3.POWER. Does it kipper the integrity of the political entity? What does it do for the baksheesh and how does it change the future seven generations from now?

DURING DELIBERATIONS.
Each requirement follow the criteria of peace of mind, righteousness and power at all times. Persons are asked in every part of the process if they fully take. If not, the process stops until this is practised. One cannot plainly be stubborn and pass by to understand as they choice be questioned.
