in the same.

a majority vote. There is no "one

by our Ancestors, as a bond
between the living and those who
have passed on.

free of charge, sufficient in
acreage, for the family's
economic well-being. The land

13. The Community, as a whole, is
conceived as one coalition,

out come, all open opposition
will cease immediately.
14. The Community as a whole, has
a duty of caring for one another.
The Community offers social,
educational, spiritual, economic,
political development, and
support.
