How the Trust Established the Soulaan Structure Under Trust Law

The Soulaan structure was not formed as a trend, a movement, or a public-facing organization. It was established deliberately under private trust law to protect a people-based classification, preserve authorship, and prevent misclassification or external capture.

At the center of this structure is Dwayne Coleman II, recognized as the originator and People-holder of the Soulaan classification.

Why Trust Law Was Used

Trust law was selected because it provides something most public frameworks cannot:

durability without public dilution.

Under trust law, cultural and people-based classifications can be:

• Defined without surrendering authorship

• Protected without incorporation into racial or political systems

• Governed without transferring ownership

This approach ensures that Soulaan remains a classification of people, not a brand, ideology, or public membership scheme.

The Role of the Trust

The Trust does not own Soulaan.

It does not redefine Soulaan.

It does not replace the originator.

Instead, the Trust functions as a governance and protection instrument, providing:

• Structural integrity under private law

• Archival recordkeeping and continuity

• Enforcement coordination where authorized

• Protection against misclassification, misuse, or unauthorized commercial activity

This allows the Soulaan structure to exist independently of trends, platforms, or institutions that historically collapse lineage-based classifications into broad racial or diaspora categories.

Dwayne Coleman II as People-Holder

Under this framework, Dwayne Coleman II is recognized as the People-holder — the individual through whom the Soulaan classification is authored, defined, and preserved.

This role is not symbolic. It is functional.

As People-holder:

• Authorship remains intact

• Definitional authority is preserved

• Cultural continuity is protected

• Governance can be delegated without surrendering sovereignty

The Trust does not create this authority; it acknowledges and safeguards it.

Why This Matters

Too often, people-based classifications are absorbed into:

• Racial generalizations

• Political movements

• NGO frameworks

• Commercial platforms

Once absorbed, they lose clarity, authorship, and protection.

By placing Soulaan within a trust-governed structure, that outcome is prevented. The classification remains:

• Status-based

• People-defined

• Authored

• Governed without public dependency

A Model for Protection, Not Performance

This structure was not designed for visibility.

It was designed for survival, protection, and continuity.

The Trust framework ensures that Soulaan can endure across generations without being rewritten, repackaged, or exploited — while remaining fully distinct from other classifications, statuses, or identities.

This is what it means to protect a people under law, not rhetoric.
