Wahkohtowin

Customary Law Systems

Wahkohtowin is a Cree word denoting the interconnected nature of relationships among people, communities and natural systems. Its literal meaning is kinship, and it is used to refer to Cree law and Cree codes of conduct, framing legal obligation as an expression of relational responsibility rather than a separate body of rules.

In Legal Family

Entity-backed identity for the legal family value this legal-system already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a legal-system entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
