Tribal Law
(15 minutes)
Suggested for all ages
This Tribal Law Video and FAQ booklet helps you to resolve class conflicts using a modified form of tribal law called "settle-up". This program teaches how to work toward student-led mediation in the classroom by teaching background history of what types of laws are involved in traditional Hupa/Karuk/Yurok life. Included in the curriculum is a game to play and pre/post tests. The main objective of settle-up is to help students take responsibility for their actions, and make reparations to a person who has had his/her feelings hurt - not to punish.
