• Peace Making Flow Chart - "Circle Peacemaking" is utilized for 'dispute resolution'.  It is also used for matters needing immediate action or non-compliant Circle Peacemaking participants.  This is visual layout of the peace making process but not limited to.
  

• Judicial PeaceMaking Code - "Laws of the Land" that has 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.
