The Ohmapi Nature Project is a lawfully formed PMA dedicated to providing nature-focused educational, recreational, social services to individuals of all ages as authorized by the Association Articles and Bylaws to its members. The following form explains this relationship and rights, benefits and responsibilities associated with membership. As a PMA, we are a Private Membership Association for the purpose of education that establishes its own operating guidelines and is not under the jurisdiction of the state, local, and federal government’s laws and regulations. As a PMA/Association, membership is voluntary and we welcome all persons (irrespective of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, political position, medical condition, health status or disability and any other protected class) in our Association. Services are only offered to our members. We are independent and privately-funded (as opposed to a state-funded school) by our members. We are an FBO PMA. The Ohmapi Nature Project has a strongly-held belief in Nature and the Seventh Generation Principle as established by the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) which advocates that the decisions we make today should result in the care and preservation of the human body and our planet, seven generations into the future. As a FBO PMA our overall mission is based on sharing this principle and belief in nature. Private Membership Association Agreement By joining the The Ohmapi Nature Project, and/or any Group started by, created by, or organized by the Association, I agree to the terms and conditions of the The Ohmapi Nature Project Private Membership Association Agreement as follows. 1. This Association of members declares that our objective is to provide the Private Association founders and all Association members a platform in which to conduct all manner of private business with the Association and with other Associations and Association members, keeping all business in the private domain and utilizing the protections guaranteed by the Constitution to conduct business in private and to provide a platform for members to conduct business in the private domain under all protections acknowledged and guaranteed by the Constitution. 2. We believe that the Constitution of the United States of America and guarantees our members the rights of free speech, petition, assembly, and the right to gather together for the lawful purpose of helping one another in asserting our rights protected by those Constitutions, Charter and Statutes, in addition to the rights to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, the right to not incriminate ourselves, and the right to freely exercise all other unalienable rights as guaranteed by those Constitutions, Charter, and Statutes. We hereby, declare that we are exercising our right of “freedom of association” as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and equivalent provisions of the various State Constitutions. This means that our Association activities are restricted to the private domain only. 3. We declare the basic right of all our members to decide for themselves which members could be expected to give wise counsel and advice concerning all matters, education, and any other matter, and to accept from those members any and all counsel, advice, tips, from whom we feel are able to properly advise and assist us. 4. We accept the freedom to choose and perform for ourselves the types of education that we think best for achieving and maintaining proper education for member’s families consistent with our educational philosophies. 5.

Membership to this Association, "The Ohmapi Nature Project", and any of its groups may be terminated by an Association Trustee at any time should they conclude that a specific member is interacting with any other members in a way that is contrary, or detrimental, to the focus and principles of this Association. 8. I understand that, since The Association is protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, it is outside the jurisdiction and authority of Federal and State Agencies and Authorities concerning all complaints or grievances against The Association members or other staff persons.
