steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene the cabildo
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The community elder or elected cabildo head convenes the council.
|
|
Members gather in a designated community space, often outdoors.
|
|
- headline: Ground in the land
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council opens by acknowledging the land and the ancestors, rooting
|
|
the proceedings in the community's ongoing relationship with its
|
|
territory.
|
|
- headline: Hear the matter
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The matter is presented — a dispute, a land question, a community
|
|
project. All affected speak, with elders given particular attention.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate for the common good
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council deliberates toward what serves the community and the
|
|
land, not individual interest. Decisions are framed in terms of
|
|
relationship to territory.
|
|
- headline: Pronounce and act
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The cabildo pronounces the decision, and the community acts on it
|
|
collectively. The decision binds the community as a whole.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A community matter is resolved with the land and ancestors held in view,
|
|
binding the community to the decision and to its territory.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The land is not backdrop; it is party to the deliberation. Decisions
|
|
that ignore the territory's wellbeing fail the form. |
