Applicable to: Indigenous Nation of Onegodia™ (INO) as a Domestic Non-Stock Religious Corporation in Connecticut.

✅ Own Land & Property

✅ Self-Govern & Manage Affairs

Operate fully according to its own rules, customs, and religious laws — free from external governance interference in internal matters.

✅ Establish Spiritual Jurisdiction

Exercise religious law over its members, property, and activities — including land reclamation projects like Genesis Road™.

✅ Hold Meetings, Elect Officers, Enforce Membership Rules

Conduct internal governance structures like the Onegodian Constitutional Council, Spiritual Elders, or Land Stewards.

Important Legal Truth:

“Any religious corporation formed under this section has perpetual existence and the same powers as an individual to acquire, own, use, and dispose of property.”

→ Legally (Connecticut Law)
