Circle Peacemaking

"Circle Peacemaking" is utilized for 'dispute resolution'. It is also used for matters needing immediate action or non-compliant Circle Peacemaking participants. This PDF shows a visual layout of the peacemaking process, though the process is not limited to this visual depiction.

Judicial Peacemaking Code

"Laws of the Land" have held our association of Clans together for thousands of years to form Keex’ Kwaan. Yesterday our ancestors formed the sacred Clan of Guwakaan, the Deer People. They used the Clan as a process of Peacemaking. No moiety, of the Eagle or Raven, claims this animal as their Clan symbol, because no one can own the process of Peacemaking.

Keex Kwaan Domestic Relations

The purpose of the Domestic Relations Code is to provide policies and guidance for the Keex' Kwaan Government to take an active role in providing for the health, safety, and welfare of the Kake people, to preserve and strengthen family ties whenever possible, to protect and preserve tribal heritage and cultural identity of the persons within the Tribe's jurisdiction, and to promote cooperation with the Tribe by other courts and agencies in fulfilling the purposes of the Code.
