SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT

SUPREME INDIGENOUS-CUSTOMARY CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

ON ANCESTRAL TERRITORIAL TITLE, CONSTITUTIONAL JURISDICTION, MEMBERSHIP, INHABITANT STATUS, AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES, AND RESIDUAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Legal Classification: Consolidated Constitutional Instrument — Indigenous Customary Law — Permanent Institutional Statute

—

PREAMBLE

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, acting through its constituent, customary, academic and institutional authorities;

Recognizing the historical continuity of the Indigenous peoples of Ayiti and Kiskeya, including the survival, integration and transmission of Taíno, Afro-Indigenous and territorially assimilated communities throughout successive colonial, imperial and republican periods;

Recognizing that the independence established in 1804 terminated French colonial sovereignty and restored the people of Hayti as the constituent authority of the territory;

Recognizing that the constitutional vocabulary employed by the State of Hayti under Jacques I placed the indigène at the center of the new political order and abolished the colonial distinctions previously imposed upon the population;

Recognizing that the general designation established by Article 14 of the Constitution of 1805 constituted a political instrument of national unification and legal equality within the postcolonial order;

Affirming that Indigenous territorial title, political membership, constitutional jurisdiction, public administration and the provision of services constitute distinct juridical matters and shall not be confused with one another;

Affirming that the ancestral title of the Indigenous peoples extends beyond the boundaries of any single contemporary institution, while the direct constitutional jurisdiction of Xaragua is exercised only within the territories, communities, institutions, persons and domains attached to its own customary order;

Recognizing the autonomous character of Xaraguayan communities and their continuing right to determine the practical arrangements by which their inhabitants obtain education, healthcare, infrastructure, civil documentation, security and other necessary services;

Recognizing the Catholic character of Xaragua as an internal constitutional, spiritual and cultural orientation, without claiming to exercise the ecclesiastical jurisdiction reserved to the competent authorities of the Roman Catholic Church;

And determined to consolidate the laws governing territorial custody, institutional membership, citizenship, inhabitant status and administrative relations into a coherent constitutional instrument;

Hereby enacts the following Supreme Constitutional Law.

—

f. its private, familial, academic, religious and proprietary institutions.

1.4. Xaragua maintains its own constitutional personality, institutional name, internal government, membership system, academic authorities, archives, symbols, offices and capacity to maintain relations with external institutions.

2.2. Xaragua operates as a private association and constitutional order formed by its members. 

It does not claim to exercise the sacramental, episcopal or ecclesiastical powers reserved by universal canon law to the competent authorities of the Roman Catholic Church.

2.3. No act of Xaragua shall be interpreted as:

a. an assertion of authority over the Holy See, a diocese, a bishop, a parish or a public ecclesiastical juridical person;

b. the exercise of sacred orders by a person who has not received them;

c. the establishment of an official mandate to act in the name of the Roman Catholic Church.

2.4. Xaragua may maintain its own rule, offices, ceremonies, disciplines, educational works and internal classifications in accordance with the freedom of association recognized within canon law and applicable civil law.

TITLE II

ANCESTRAL TITLE AND CONSTITUTIONAL TERRITORY

Article 4 — General Indigenous Ancestral Title

4.1. The territory presently administered as the Republic of Haiti forms part of the ancestral territory of the Indigenous peoples of Ayiti.

4.2. This ancestral title belongs collectively to the Indigenous peoples and communities possessing historical, cultural, familial, spiritual or customary continuity with the territory.

4.3. The recognition of general Indigenous ancestral title does not, by itself, place every person, community, municipality or property in Haiti under the direct administration of Xaragua.

4.4. Xaragua acts as one organized constitutional expression of this broader Indigenous continuity. 

It does not extinguish the autonomy, identity or customary authority of other Indigenous communities.

Article 5 — Territory of Xaragua

5.1. The direct constitutional jurisdiction of Xaragua applies to:

a. territories expressly incorporated into Xaragua by its constitutional instruments;

b. ancestral family domains recognizing Xaraguayan customary authority;

c. autonomous communities entering into constitutional association with Xaragua;

d. institutions, properties, archives and digital platforms established or controlled by Xaragua;

e. citizens, officers and registered members subject to its internal law;

f. private contractual or institutional relationships lawfully placed under Xaraguayan jurisdiction.

5.2. No broader ancestral claim shall be interpreted as the automatic absorption of communities that have not entered the Xaraguayan constitutional order.

5.3. The constitutional territory of Xaragua may be geographically discontinuous and may include terrestrial, insular, maritime, institutional, private and digital domains recognized by its laws.

Article 6 — Eastern Part of the Island

6.1. The eastern portion of the island forms part of the wider Taíno, Hispanic-Indigenous and Caribbean historical continuum.

6.2. Xaragua makes no claim of governmental or administrative jurisdiction over the Dominican Republic by virtue of this historical recognition.

a. customary consent;

b. familial or communal authority;

c. environmental protection;

e. applicable property law.

—

TITLE III

FOUNDATIONAL CONTINUITY OF HAYTI

Article 8 — The Indigenous Political Category

8.1. The constitutional vocabulary of the independence period employed the term indigène to identify the members of the liberated political community.

8.2. Within this historical context, indigène expressed emancipation from colonial status, political belonging to the territory and participation in the newly constituted order.

8.3. Article 14 of the Constitution of 1805 abolished legal distinctions of color and established a general national designation.

It shall be interpreted within Xaraguayan doctrine as an instrument of political and ancestral unification and decolonization.

8.4. This interpretation does not deny the African origins of parts of the population, the role of enslaved Africans in the Revolution, or the continuing Indigenous ancestry and identity present within the population.

Article 9 — Constitutional Succession

9.1. Xaragua recognizes Jacques I, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, as the principal founder of the independent Haytian constitutional order.

9.2. Xaragua claims doctrinal and institutional continuity with the following elements of that order:

a. definitive rejection of colonial sovereignty;

b. territorial independence;

c. political unity beyond colonial racial classifications;

d. defense of the population and territory;

e. preservation of national resources against foreign domination;

f. recognition of the constituent people as the source of political authority.

9.3. This continuity is constitutional and doctrinal. 

It does not constitute a claim that every subsequent Haitian institution has ceased to exist or that Xaragua automatically inherits every obligation, asset or administrative function of former Haitian governments.

—

TITLE IV

AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES AND RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATION

Article 10 — Autonomy of Communities

10.1. Communities associated with Xaragua retain authority over their internal, local, familial, cultural and customary affairs.

a. healthcare;

b. education;

c. civil documentation;

d. roads and transportation;

e. water, electricity and communications;

f. public safety;

g. judicial and administrative services;

h. emergency and humanitarian assistance.

Article 11 — Residual Administrative Unit

11.1. For the purposes of Xaraguayan constitutional doctrine, the institutions of the Republic of Haiti operating within or in relation to Xaraguayan communities may be designated as the Residual Administrative Unit.

11.2. This designation differentiates public administration from Indigenous constituent authority. 

It does not deny the factual existence of Haitian institutions or the civil documentation issued by them.

11.3. The use of services provided by the Residual Administrative Unit shall not constitute:

a. political submission;

b. abandonment of Indigenous identity;

c. transfer of customary title;

d. renunciation of community autonomy;

e. incorporation of Xaragua into an external constitutional order.

Article 12 — Subsidiary Intervention

12.1. Xaragua operates principally at the constitutional, supralocal, institutional and strategic levels.

12.2. Where an administrative failure creates a direct and serious threat to a Xaraguayan community, institution, population or territory, Xaragua may intervene within its available capacity through:

a. coordination;

b. documentation and notification;

c. institutional assistance;

d. educational or technical support;

e. emergency organization;

f. legal representation;

g. cooperation with competent public, ecclesiastical, private or international bodies.

12.3. Such intervention does not create a general obligation for Xaragua to replace all public services or to assume the complete civil administration of the affected territory.

CONTROLLING JURISDICTIONAL DECLARATION

Citizenship and e-residency regulate membership, affiliation, legal capacity and participation within the Xaragua order. 

They do not purport, by themselves, to confer nationality, diplomatic status, consular status, immunity, immigration privileges or territorial rights under conventional international law.

Documents issued by Xaragua possess full legal and evidentiary effect within the Xaraguayan constitutional order and may be accepted externally wherever an institution, authority, organization or contracting party recognizes them de jure, de facto, contractually or administratively.

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, acting through the Office of the Rector-President and the Ministry of Citizenship;

Affirming the inherent authority of the Xaraguayan people to determine their own identity, membership, institutions, internal procedures, constitutional classifications and forms of participation according to their customs and laws;

Recognizing that citizenship, customary inhabitant status, e-residency, academic enrollment, public office, institutional partnership and honorary distinction constitute separate juridical categories;

Recognizing that Xaragua maintains an autonomous internal registry for the authentication of its citizens, inhabitants, e-residents, officers, students, professors, delegates, partners and affiliated juridical persons;

Affirming that documents issued by Xaragua constitute official acts of its internal constitutional and institutional order;

Distinguishing Xaraguayan citizenship from nationality conferred by a state operating within the conventional interstate system;

Recognizing that a Xaraguayan citizen may simultaneously possess civil nationality and travel documentation issued by an externally recognized state without surrendering Xaraguayan membership;

Affirming that the use of a central-state passport for conventional international travel does not constitute renunciation of Xaraguayan citizenship, Indigenous identity, constitutional allegiance or customary status;

Hereby enacts the following Charter.
