• UJIMA-COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBITY: To build and maintain our communities together and to make our sisters and brothers problems our problems and solve them together.
• UJAMAA-COOPERATIVE ECONOMICS: To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.
• NIA-PURPOSE: To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
• KUUMBA- CREATIVITY: To do always as much as we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
