Kwina Hereditary Chiefs

"Creator's Love is the central to Life in Purpose."

A'ho!

HOUSE OF KWINA

- Heir Apparent Royal Qui-enich Chief Qui-ench Peter Henry Kwina

- Heir Apparent Chief Qui-enich Helen Marion Henry Kwina

- Heir Absolute Apparent Royal Chief Qui-enich Henry Kirby Henry Kwina,                       

Born to Qui-enich Kirby Henry Kwina, is to Qui-enich Raven Wolf Kwina.             

**** Chief Henry Kwina was Chief of the Lhaq'temish Luminara for 64 years and was declared the Founder of Lummi Nation as Hereditary Qui-enich Chieftain. 

-  International Laws apply to The direct Sovereign Qui-enich Kwina, of The Salish Whatcom Lhaq'temish as the Legal Sovereign by Birthright, adding Common Law, Federal Law, State and Tribal. Hereditary "KWINA" is legally acknowledged as an authentic legal Sovereign by U.S. Congress and several other international entities as Sovereign Heads themselves. By Law, Sovereigns never stop being Sovereign, even if the Government is in Exile as being Sovereign, it is an unbreakable fact via International, U.S. Federal, Tribal and State Law. Sovereigns are Absolute in all divisions of Law, this is an unchangeable law no man can change. Hereditary Chief of Lummi is a Direct Succession recorded by Scholars and Historians, Newspapers, U.S. Congress and The Qui-enich Henry Kwina Orally in Newspaper Print by Interview. By Law, broken laws do not change Sovereign State in Statue for Status for Lummi Nation: Qui-enich Kwina is Legal Hereditary Chieftain by Law.*

* Church politics and Military force broke Chief Henry Kwina Hereditary Chieftain Tradition through high duress and by 1913, by then illegally installed of August Martin who was from Muckleshoot Tribe and not because Muckleshoot, or the Martin Family is to blame, it's beyond the Church, it was the U.S. Government in bidding for the Catholic Church coming from the Crown of Europe on a political Agenda to convert "the Indian" to the Crown's own liking, used  in "federal image" that which by force was being installed upon Native American tribes, which was in fact is recorded by U.S. Congress and several Indian Agents by historical and factual legal recourse by evidence, as here this very incident in truth for facts, Hereditary Qui-enich Henry Kwina follows historically. This traumatic event changed the never-ending broken Salish Kwina Family Chieftain Sche'lang'en with successive hereditary Chieftain inside excessive threats of death and deadly force, as recorded by Governor Stevens own words promising  NW Seattle, Clallam, and Salish Kwina region territory, "up to our knees in blood" indeed we'd find ourselves if we "resisted the treaty." By force, after this installment of fear, Head Chieftain Henry Qu-enich Kwina was stripped of his Sovereign Territorial Government, passed on from our ancient Kwina Chief Salish Whatcom Sche'lang'en Traditions instead to be given over to hwa-ni-tum/ xwelitem to "foreign external political influence by force" with importantly, an invalid basis of law attached acquiring nothing real concerning black letter law by rule and for referencing this very crime in illegal events void and moot.

*(Please see "History Video" and the rest of the Kwina Family pages to adjust and for logic sake in historic events.)

Finalizing this matter: U.S. Federal Congress takes Recognition in Qui-enich Kwina as "The Hereditary Qui-enich, Kwina of Lummi" as such quoted is recorded by the most critical and credible legal witness recognizing Absolute Sovereign Statue through U.S. Congress.          

**** Chief Henry Kwina was Chief of the Lhaq'temish Luminara for 64 years and was declared the Founder of Lummi Nation as Hereditary Qui-enich Chieftain. 

*** Spain Identified the Tribe "Luminara" as an actual adaptation of the Tribal Name of the "Nuh Lummi" or Lummi First Nation Tribal Name given to us by Spanish explorers. 

Sub-Chiefs

Clan Chiefs & Time Length:

- SubChief Hoe-Badook  was sub-Chief from 1859-1874, named Whilano ("David Crockett")  “Whai-lan-hu” Crockett Xwaile’Nəxw (First Catholic Chief).

- SubChief Washington S'h'-cheh-oos, or General Washington - Sub-Chief.

- SubChief Frank Hillaire

- SubChief August Martin     (Catholic Install)                                     1913-1959

- SubChief Norb James     (Catholic Install)                                        June 6, 1960-1966

- SubChief Jim McKay  (Catholic Install)                                             1969-1989

- SubChief Donald Lewis                                                                         1990-2008

- SubChief Bill James                                                                               2008-2020

*SubChiefs are not hereditary to the Kwina bloodline and nor are there any collateral descendent to Kwina, as they do not match as a direct descendent by code of Natural Law. Most of the "SubChiefs" are installs from the Catholic Church and these chiefs are known as ceremonial chiefs mistakenly called 'hereditary' at times when in fact, which is the big difference between legal hereditary royal Sovereign Qui-enich Kwina Chieftain of Lummi Nation, Salish Territory.

** Qui-enich Kwina was Sovereign Head of Lummi Nation by 1996, however, Qui-enich Raven Wolf Kwina waited after Bill James due to love for Lummi and now, the return of Kwina. The Superior Courts of Washington State encouraged Raven Wolf Kwina as a child to return to her Tribe, as well as Marion Kwina by oral instruction of Chieftain Sche'lang'en was received.
