Constitution

We, the members of the United Houma Nation, being a sovereign native people, do establish and adopt this Constitution in order to organize for the common good, to protect our inherent right to govern ourselves under our own laws and customs, to maintain and foster our tribal culture, to protect our homeland, to conserve and develop our natural resources, to promote the social and economic well-being of our people, and to govern, protect, and advance the common good of the United Houma Nation and the members of this nation.

With this mission and charge, the United Houma Nation recognizes that it has a social responsibility to tribal members to ensure that each member is given the opportunity to practice their unique traditions and cultural beliefs, earn a fair wage to provide for their family, and live in a community that is safe for their children and free from discrimination.
