The law of kinsmen
All Kinsmen are to help each other in times of need. (Excluding a status related competition. Assistance in a Status related competition is seen as weak, and is punished by Exiliation from the tribe.). Brothers and Sisters are to carry an equal weight of the tribe burden, failure to contribute to the well being of the tribe will result in a punishment of no food until their equal part is carried. Regardless of if the Kinsmen is starved or not, pulling one’s weight is the only way the Navask will continue to thrive.
