Ma-ii-tum People of the Community Hand Held Mask

Nis-mas - your plot of land. This is your inherent right. Your are the sovereign person of that place and what it has all within it.
Your privileges come from that huu-pa-qua-num (the chief’s box). The posts on the side are ol-um-ma, which show your domain, and the four corner posts that define your property. The green and white show that you have planted roots here from way back and are People of the Community.
—Tim Paul
