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.
