Nibwaskaa Songab carries the traditional leadership assignment for responsibilities in a cultural context including the mantle of Čhetáŋ Wakhúwa Máni a leadership title of the Mdewakanton.
We are born inside a universe governed not by what is seen, but by what is unseen.
The visible world — stars, empires, flesh, memory — is only the surface of reality. Beneath it exists the greater structure: Dark Matter. The hidden framework. The silent gravitational intelligence that binds galaxies together and sustains existence itself. It outweighs the visible universe five to one, yet remains beyond ordinary sight.
I represent that realm.
A musical universe born from the Sovereign Matrix — the invisible architecture holding creation together. A kingdom of gravitational beings whose presence is not measured by appearance, but by influence, force, and permanence. They are the unseen pillars of existence.
And her position as leader is not symbolic. It is ancestral.
An unbroken lineage flows through her — ancient, rightful, sovereign. She stands as more than a keeper of earthly bloodlines. She stands as the Voice of the Sovereign Matrix itself: the living bridge between the visible world and the deeper reality beneath it.
Spiritual Beings move in and out of that realm because it is closer to their native condition than our own. Their reality exists between dimensions, between matter and absence, between observation and shadow. They traverse the hidden framework most humans never perceive.
But the Matrix remains older than all of them.
Older than governments.
Older than civilizations.
Older than memory.
The unseen world is not empty.
It is alive.
Inherent Sovereign Leadership: A Continuous Lineage
The right to lead is not granted by external institutions; it is an inherent sovereign authority carried in the blood, verified by history, and mandated by ancestors. As the 7th great-granddaughter of Little Crow I (Čhetáŋ Wakhúwa Máni), the foundational leader of the Mdewakanton Dakota Kaposia Band, she embodies a direct line of hereditary leadership that historically commanded reverence from the Mississippi River to the Red River Valley. This authority is deeply reinforced through her grandfather, the direct grandson of the legendary Grand Chief Misko-Mukwuh (Red Bear I), the principal chief of the Great Pembina Chippewa Nation who famously held the line for his people’s territorial sovereignty.
Flowing through Pewanakum (Ogichidaa), the sacred leadership of Wáȟpe Šá I (Red Cap Wapasha), Grand Chief Little Shell I (Petit Coquille), and the prominent Delonais lineage, her bloodline represents the ultimate convergence of the Dakota, Anishinaabe, and Métis ruling dynasties. She does not merely study the history of the Northern Plains and the Great Lakes; she is the living manifestation of it. Standing at the intersection of peace-weavers, treaty-signers, and unyielding sovereign chiefs, her voice carries the weight of generations, and her position as a leader is a natural, rightful continuation of an unbroken ancestral legacy.
I am Nibwaskaa Songab “Sacred Wisdom Who Is Brave and Strong” — Onwaachige, Midewiwin Wabeno, Ogimaakwe, and Ogichidaa of the Pembina Band of the Great Dakotah Nation and Red Bear lineage of Little Crow I, Chief Wáȟpe Šá Kaŋgidaŋ Mdokečiŋhaŋ Čhetáŋ Wakhúwa Máni, my 7th great grandfather Little Crow I unified leader of The Great Dakotah Nation, a merge between the Oceti Sakowin and Anishinaabeg to form the O'Jiibwaay Pembina Dynasty.
I stand before you as a living bridge between worlds: a United States Marine Corps veteran, and a carrier of the sacred Midewiwin fire. I was called through ceremony, named by Ogimaa Ma’Lingaan Albert Dennis Lambert, who declared I carry light in both hands, and confirmed by my ancestors. My blood, my spirit, and my path are undeniable. I am a warrior who has overcome trauma FEW can fathom.
I speak with the authority given to me — not by permission of governments, churches, or internet councils, but by the Creator and the traditions of my people. I carry the Law of Symmetry, the Degrees of Wisdom, and the light of the coming dawn. I need no followers, I have the Creator GICHI MANIDOO who is The Father of the Many Lights. He gave me my vessel, a shell and a shield to protect my sacred light! I am a star being!
To those who question my right to exist as who I am: My existence is not up for debate. My lineage is not yours to validate. My voice will not be silenced.
I walk this path for the healing of our people, for the protection of our sovereignty, and for the return of balance to a world that has lost its way. I do not ask for belief — I offer truth for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
This is my sacred duty. This is my unapologetic truth. I Am Here. I have a deeply personal relationship with the Creator Gichi Manidoo and an Heavenly being called Agonabish who visits me frequently with the resounding declaration "The Earth is NOT listening to Heaven".
I am Čhetáŋ Wakhúwa Máni the leadership title of the Mdewakanton. Named by Gichi Ogimaa Ma'Lingaan February 2018, Called as Pembina Band Ogimaakwe March 2019, called as Ah-dik Songab Clan Mother March 2019, named as successor Ogimaakwe to Patti Lafountain March 2020, called as Wabeno March 2020.

Nibwaskaa Songab
"One Who Is Wise And Stands Strong"
Gichi-Onwaachige Nibwaskaa Songab, as Wabeno a spiritual leader of the Mdewakanton carrying the spiritual title of Čhetáŋ Wakhúwa Máni. A multifaceted leader whose life serves as a bridge between ancient heritage, elite physical endurance, and a rare biological existence. A United States Marine Corps Veteran and an 5xMasters All-American athlete, Nibwaskaa is also the ceremonial leader of the Great O’Jiibwaay Nation, carrying the mantle of Wabeno, and a lineage that spans over two millennia.
Native Ameriican Onwaachige
Nibwaskaa Songab is an Ogimaakwe and Ogichidaa of the Pembina Band of the Adik Songab Reindeer Dynasty. She is a recognized Native American Onwaachige and Keeper of Sacred Writings (Ozhibi'iwe), operating as a holy Wabeno within the Midewiwin Grand Medicine Society. Tracing ancestral and spiritual authority through the Great Dakota Nation and the historical Pembina Red Bear Band, she serves as the living embodiment of the Ahdik (Reindeer/Caribou) Clan, standing firm and unyielding as a sacred guardian of tribal sovereign truth.
Her identity, authority, and spiritual inheritance are absolute, rooted in bloodline, sovereign tribal lineage, and community accountability. Indigeneity is not defined by linguistic fluency—a metric disrupted by centuries of state-sanctioned colonial violence, forced boarding school assimilation, and systematic cultural erasure. Any attempt by outside voices to lecture, validate, or regulate her identity or cultural parameters is a direct violation of Indigenous sovereignty, carrying no authority, validity, or right of judgment over a sacred guardian of tribal truth. NON-Natives have NO right to lecture, demean, or council indigenous Native Americans.
Attention: My inherent right to exist, self-identify, and fulfill my sacred obligations free from hostile interference is strictly protected under international law, which thoroughly repudiates all colonial doctrines of racial superiority, targeted assimilation, and non-Native misdirection. According to Article 2 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Indigenous individuals are free and equal to all other peoples and possess the absolute right to be free from any kind of discrimination in the exercise of their rights, particularly that based on their origin or identity. Furthermore, Article 8(2)(d) mandates strict international protections against any form of forced integration, cultural dismantling, or targeted propaganda aimed at undermining Indigenous integrity. Any paternalistic attempts by non-Native entities to cross-examine my lineage, weaponize language barriers created by historic state-sanctioned violence, or dictate the parameters of my traditional office constitute an unlawful infringement on tribal sovereignty. Per international legal frameworks, all external claims, lectures, or misdirections intended to diminish my spiritual standing carry zero authority, zero validity, and no right of judgment over a sovereign guardian of tribal truth. (United Nations Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples)
The Legal Shield: Article 3 (Self-Determination)
-
The Text: "Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development."
-
The Application: This article strips any outside church, missionary, or religious body of the power to claim you are "beholden" to their authority. Your political, cultural, and spiritual development is determined solely by you and your sovereign nation, completely independent of their theological structures.
