About Our Land Trust Community
A covenant-based community rooted in family, land stewardship, ancestral recordkeeping, trusteeship, and generational continuity.
Who We Are
Our Tribal Land Trust Community exists to organize families into a living structure of responsibility, record, land, and stewardship. We are not a casual association, club, rental program, or short-term benefit system. We are a covenant community built around family order, Root Houses, trusteeship, land protection, shared responsibility, and future generations.
The purpose of the land trust is to help families move from individual participation into organized family stewardship. Through recordkeeping, orientation, trusteeship, and Root Placement, families are connected to a larger framework designed to preserve land, protect inheritance, strengthen community identity, and create long-term continuity.
What Is the Land Trust?
The land trust is a structured covenant system that connects families, records, land, governance, and stewardship. It is designed to hold land and community assets with purpose, discipline, and accountability.
Family Foundation
The community begins with family. Each household is encouraged to understand its ancestry, responsibilities, records, and role within the larger covenant structure.
Root Houses
Root Houses represent organized family lines within the community. They help create structure, identity, continuity, and responsibility across generations.
Trusteeship
Trusteeship means serving with responsibility. Members are expected to protect the land, respect the records, honor the covenant, and contribute to the stability of the community.
Land Stewardship
Land is treated as more than property. It is a sacred responsibility connected to family, culture, preservation, lawful structure, and future generations.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a strong, organized, and accountable land-based community where families can preserve identity, build records, support one another, protect land, and prepare a stable inheritance for those who come after us.
We Believe In:
Responsibility before benefit, record before status, stewardship before ownership, and family before individual gain. Every person who enters the community is invited to plant roots, serve with discipline, and become part of a living structure built for long-term continuity.
How to Become Part of the Community
Becoming part of the community is a serious process. It begins with interest, but it grows through orientation, recordkeeping, family review, trusteeship, and active participation.
Submit Your Interest
Begin by contacting the community or completing an interest form. This allows the administration to understand who you are, your family background, and why you desire to become part of the land trust.
Attend Orientation
Orientation explains the purpose of the covenant, the meaning of land stewardship, the role of Root Houses, the responsibilities of members, and the difference between participation and trusteeship.
Begin Family Recordkeeping
Families are guided to prepare names, household information, ancestry details, supporting records, and other documentation needed to place the family properly within the community structure.
Review Community Responsibilities
Every applicant must understand that membership begins with service. The community values discipline, accountability, respect, lawful order, family responsibility, and protection of the land.
Enter Trusteeship or Approved Participation
After review, eligible families may enter the appropriate level of participation. Some may begin as community participants, while others may move toward trusteeship, Root House placement, or additional responsibilities.
Serve, Build, and Stay Connected
Members are expected to remain active, attend meetings when required, update family records, support community work, respect the covenant, and help preserve the land trust for future generations.
Community Expectations
