The purpose, herein, is to determine the values of Allodial Title Claim of land and resources as being paramount or first ahead of the general state claim of Fee Simple Title. [There are many uniform and conflicting references - which will be examined throughout these articles]
This publication will examine historical and contemporary interpretations of land claim; and, in this context, there will be references to the Old World, the evolution of the US Thirteen Colonies; and, colonization of Turtle Island North - in particular, the lands north of the 49th parallel [i.e., Canada].

In conjunction with this examination of land title, there will evolve a determination of the various values and comparisons between "direct" v. "representative" democracy in a republic nation state.
Good stewardship of lands and resources is a fundamental responsibility of all peoples - Coast Salish Peoples, as a 10 century old citizenry, possess the first claim and recognized governance upon certain describe and traditional lands and resources on the west coast of North America. This governing responsibility has not dissolved through war, assignment, or abandonment.
Indigenous Peoples around the world understand these holdings: that land stewardship or "ownership" originates through continuous occupancy and use of the lands; while, also, establishing and enforcing rules of conduct for all persons who wish to enter onto these said lands.
