Sec. 101 Purpose
(A) The intent of this section of the Code is to provide a forum allowing for
traditional Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas methods, customs and techniques to resolve
disputes in a fair, informal and inexpensive manner.
(B) The guiding principles for the Peacemaker Court are:
(1) Positive relationships between parties are valuable and should be
preserved;
(2) The most constructive way to preserve a positive relationship and
settle a dispute is through the voluntary participation of the parties
and not through the use of force from an outside source;
The health of the community at large depends on recognizing the
connectedness of all things and the responsibility that we all have to
each other; and
(4) Sacred justice is found when the importance of restoring
understanding and balance to the relationship has been
acknowledged.
