title: Hozho Ji Peacemaking
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A Diné (Navajo) justice practice in which a peacemaker convenes those in
|
|
conflict to restore hozho — harmony, balance, and right relationship —
|
|
through guided dialogue. Rooted in Diné traditional law and recognised
|
|
within the Navajo Nation court system.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene with the peacemaker
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A recognised peacemaker (naat'aanii) convenes the parties and affected
|
|
relatives in a circle. The peacemaker opens with prayer and explains
|
|
that the goal is hozho, not victory.
|
|
- headline: Each party speaks
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each party tells their experience of the conflict and its impact,
|
|
listened to without interruption. Relatives may also speak to the
|
|
context.
|
|
- headline: Identify the harm to hozho
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The peacemaker guides the group to name how harmony has been broken —
|
|
in relationship, in community, in the individual's balance.
|
|
- headline: Plan restoration
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Together the group agrees on what is needed to restore hozho —
|
|
apology, restitution, changed behaviour, ceremony, or counselling.
|
|
- headline: Follow up
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A follow-up is scheduled to confirm the plan has been carried out and
|
|
hozho restored.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Conflict is resolved by restoring harmony and relationship, not by
|
|
assigning punishment; the parties re-enter right relationship with
|
|
community.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The peacemaker is not a judge — they guide, not decide. The plan must be
|
|
owned by the parties. Ceremony is not optional decoration; it is part of
|
|
restoration. |
