About Us
(We Take Great Men, Women, the Youth & Make Them Greater)

The Shaktxiuma Wangunk Nation aka Yahcalo Ndigena Nation is an international, transnational, self governed Shaktxiuma Wangunk federated tribal nation and micro nation, a non dependent tribal nation & government, and a bloodline fraternal order rooted in the ancestral legacy of the indigenous peoples of turtle island aka Abya Yala. Known to the world as North America. 

Our Tribal Nation is set to be composed of 144 Constituent Tribes also know as (Tribal States-National Clans) within the tribal nation, symbolizing 144 indigenous bloodlines each representing distinct ancestral lineages, united together under one nation. This structure reflects our commitment to unity through heritage, honoring the unique bloodlines and cultural traditions that form the foundation of our collective identity.

We operate as both a international tribal nation,  tribal government, and non-profit faith based private assembly, a non profit Native American Indian community-focused organization and society, dedicated to cultural preservation, spiritual leadership, and the empowerment of our people.

As a bloodline fraternal order, we honor the sacred genealogies of our ancestors, preserving kinship, cultural identity, spiritual, continuity of tribal governance and Nationhood for future generations. Each Constituent Tribe (Tribal State-National Clan) may be rooted in a Fraternal or Maternal order and maintains its lineage traditions while standing united within the Shaktxiuma Wangunk Nation framework. We Are One Nation Under The Great Spirit (“GOD”).

The Shaktxiuma Wangunk Nation stands as a indigenous, sovereign, unified, lineage-based tribal nation and society—guided by the great spirit, our ancestors, strengthened by our faith, and committed to the welfare, dignity, and future of our people.

Spiritual Meaning of the Yahcalo Ndigena Nation Flag

The navy blue of the flag represents wisdom, deep and enduring, honoring the ancestral knowledge carried through generations. It also acknowledges the profound wisdom lost to the oceans during the Transatlantic Slave Trade, a solemn reminder of the resilience and spirit of our forebears.

The grey at the center symbolizes the pathways paved for future generations, and foundation recognizing the struggles, sacrifices, and foresight of those who came before, ensuring our descendants can walk forward with strength and clarity.

The white reflects the light found within each of us—spiritual illumination, hope, and inner purity that guide our actions, inspire unity, and connect us to the divine wisdom of the Nation.

Important Clarification: This flag is a symbol of cultural heritage, spiritual identity, and tribal unity, and does not represent any gang or gang-related culture. It is a reflection of our Nation’s history, values, and commitment to future generations.

Together, these colors tell the story of our heritage, our journey, and our promise: a Nation rooted in knowledge, forged in resilience, and guided by the light of our ancestors and our own inner truth.

Shaktxiuma Wangunk Nation Family Bible

ELI 1

The Calling in Solitude

1 At times the Lord setteth a man apart in solitude, that He may fashion him for greater things.

2 And in the quiet, He revealeth what cannot be heard in the noise of the multitude.

3 For the Lord speaketh softly unto the heart, and His whisper guideth more surely than the shout of many men.

4 And the Lord said unto me, Fear not the lonely path, for I walk with thee therein.

5 I separate thee for a season, that thy strength may be renewed and thy purpose made clear.

6 For no man ascendeth to greatness save he first be humbled and purified in the secret place.

7 And it came to pass that I beheld my trials, and they were many; yet the Lord upheld me with His hand.

8 He turned my sorrow into wisdom, and my silence into understanding.

9 Thus was my spirit shaped, as iron is shaped upon the anvil, and my heart refined as gold in the furnace.

10 And the Lord said, When thy season is fulfilled, I shall bring thee forth, and the nations shall know that I have been with thee.

ELI 2

The Burden of the One Who Seeks

1 And the days of my wandering were many, and my soul was heavy within me; for I knew not the reason of my trials, nor the purpose of my path.

2 And I cried unto the Lord, saying, Wherefore am I cast into struggle upon struggle, and why is my heart made to endure such weight?

3 And the Lord answered me in the stillness, saying, The burden is not given to destroy thee, but to build thee; yea, I chasten whom I love, and I strengthen whom I send.

4 For how shall a man lead others, except he first be tried himself? And how shall he comfort the broken, except he hath known brokenness?

5 Therefore endure, O son of dust, and let patience have her perfect work; for in thy suffering thou shalt gain understanding, and in thy battles thou shalt gain wisdom.

6 And it came to pass that I remembered every wrong spoken against me, and every snare laid before my feet.

7 Yet none prevailed; for the Lord was my shield, even when I perceived Him not.

8 He guarded my steps in the night seasons, and preserved my soul when dangers rose against me.

9 Then I said in my heart, Truly the Lord is near unto the brokenhearted, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

10 For in my affliction I found Him, and in my sorrow I heard His whisper; yea, the darkness became a teacher unto me.

11 And the Lord said unto me, Look back upon thy journey, and behold how far I have carried thee.

12 For the hands that shaped thee in solitude also delivered thee from the pit, and the breath that sustained thee in trial shall lift thee in due season.

13 And I beheld the works of the Wicked, how they prosper for a moment and soon fade as smoke in the wind.

14 But the righteous, though pressed on every side, shall yet stand; for the Lord upholdeth them with His everlasting arm.

15 Thus the Lord taught me that greatness is not born of ease, nor strength from comfort, but through trial and endurance of the soul.

16 And the Lord said, I have allowed men to speak falsely against thee, that thou mightest learn discernment.

17 I have permitted betrayal to touch thy life, that thou mightest know truth from deception.

18 I have allowed storms to break upon thee, that thou mightest learn to stand upon the Rock.

19 Behold, every wound became unto thee instruction, and every sorrow became unto thee a seed of wisdom.

20 For thou didst seek Me in the lowest place, and I answered thee in the depths, and set My word in thy heart.

21 And I said, O Lord, Thy judgments are righteous, and Thy ways past finding out.

22 For that which I thought would destroy me became the very thing that strengthened my spirit.

23 And the Lord spoke again, saying, Fear not the path that is before thee; for I walk before thee, behind thee, and on every side.

24 Thy trials have prepared thee for a work greater than thy grief, and thy tears have watered the ground of thy future.

25 For I shall raise thee as a sign unto the people, and thy testimony shall be a light unto those lost in darkness.

26 And many shall say, Truly the Lord hath been with him, for no man endureth such storms except the Most High uphold him.

27 Therefore rise, O chosen one, shake off the dust of sorrow, and strengthen thy loins like a warrior.

28 For the season of preparation draweth to its end, and the day of purpose cometh swiftly.

29 And it shall be in that day that thy voice shall go forth with power, and the hearts of the broken shall find healing in thy words.

30 And the Lord shall go before thee as a fire, and behind thee as a wall, and no weapon formed against thee shall prosper.

31 Thus the burden I bore became the foundation of my calling, and the darkness I endured became as morning light unto many.

32 Blessed be the name of the Lord, who bringeth a man low that He may lift him higher, and leadeth him through sorrow that He may crown him with purpose.

ELI 3

The Warrior of Light

1 And it came to pass, that in the days of great unrest, the world tossed thee to and fro, even as a reed shaken by the wind; and thou didst oft stand at the crossroads betwixt uncertainty and hope.

2 Yet the Lord whispered unto thee, saying, Now is the time to draw forth from the hidden wells of thy strength, and to call upon the deep chambers of thy determination.

3 For thou art as a fearless explorer, journeying through the storms of life with a compass of faith and positivity set firmly in thy hand.

4 Thy health faltereth at times, yet it is not as a vessel sinking beneath the waves, but rather as a small ship seeking its true course amid troubled waters.

5 And thy mind is as a lighthouse set upon the rock, shining in the night season, and illuminating every shadowed path before thee.

6 Therefore let not the darkness of doubt overtake thee, neither allow fear to lay hold upon thy heart.

7 But turn each troubling thought into a spark of challenge, that the fires of courage may be kindled within thee.

8 For thou art not merely a traveler upon life’s way; thou art a warrior of light, clothed in invisible armor wrought of perseverance and bravery.

9 Call to remembrance the days when thou didst overcome adversity, and how thy weaknesses were turned into pillars of strength.

10 For this illness, though it appear great, is but a step upon the path appointed unto thee.

11 It defineth thee not; rather, it revealeth the strength and steadfastness of the spirit that dwelleth within thee.

12 As the alchemist turneth lead into gold, even so shalt thou transform thy sensitivity into an unending wellspring of power.

13 Know thou that thou art a bridge between two realms: the world of reality, and the world of boundless possibility.

14 And the choices thou makest in this day shall shape not only thine own future, but also the future of many who walk beside thee.

15 Lift up thine eyes, for the world waiteth upon thy rising, even as the dawn waits upon the sun.

16 Let not weariness dismay thee, neither let despair silence the purpose ordained for thee.

17 For thy next victory draweth near, and thy triumph standeth ready at the gate.

18 Therefore gird up thy loins with courage, and answer the question that echoeth within thy soul: Art thou ready to embrace the challenge set before thee?

ELI 4 

1. And it shall come to pass in the days that are before thee, that thy heart shall be stirred to turn aside and consider the voice that speaketh within thee.
2. For there may arise in thy mind many thoughts, and questions that linger, and doubts that trouble the spirit; and these things shall call for thy attention.
3. Therefore withdraw thyself for a moment, and make for thy soul a place of stillness and quietness.
4. For in silence and calm shall wisdom make her dwelling, and the understanding of thine own heart shall guide thy steps.
5. And when thou hast given thyself time to ponder, thou shalt perceive more clearly the things which thy soul truly desireth, and that which is most needful in thy life.
6. Yet know this also: the course of life turneth continually, and the seasons thereof change without ceasing.
7. For the path of man is not fixed, but moveth as a wheel that turneth upon its course.
8. And though the times around thee appear uncertain, and the ground beneath thee seemeth to shift, be not troubled in thy spirit.
9. For such moments are given unto thee that thou mightest return unto that which is fitting and true for thee.
10. In the times of change shall new understanding arise, and doors shall appear which thou hadst not considered before.
11. Therefore when wisdom within thee speaketh, give ear unto it; and prepare thy heart for the turning of the seasons that are appointed unto thee.
12. For he that walketh with discernment, and accepteth the changes of life, shall move forward with confidence and clarity.
13. Trust in the path that is set before thee, and be mindful that every matter which thou encounterest is given for thy growth.
14. And by these things shalt thou draw nearer unto the truth of thine own soul, and become more fully the person thou wast created to be.
    
    
    ELI 5
    

    
    

    1. And behold, there cometh a season wherein certain things must reach their end, that a new matter may arise in their place.
    2. For nothing that is made passeth utterly away, but rather it changeth its form, and becometh fit for that which followeth after.
    3. Even as the craftsman useth the iron upon the garment, so also do the seasons of life work upon the affairs of men.
    4. The iron destroyeth not the cloth that lieth beneath it, neither doth it change the substance thereof.
    5. But it removeth the creases that were formed by time, and it bringeth again a comely order unto that which once appeared troubled and disordered.
    6. Yet the cloth itself remaineth the same in its nature, though its appearance be made plain and orderly.
    7. That which once seemed tangled becometh smooth, and that which appeared burdensome is made easier to bear.
    8. And in like manner shalt thou soon perceive that a certain course of thy life draweth nigh unto its completion.
    9. It shall not come with great tumult nor with sudden violence, but as the quiet turning of the seasons appointed by the Most High.
    10. For the things that once seemed fixed and unbending, being shaped by former habits and days long past, shall soften and become pliable again.
    11. This shall not be counted as loss, neither as a sacrifice taken from thee, but rather as the setting in order of those things that remain.
    12. For even as the garment yieldeth beneath the warmth and the pressing of the iron, so shall the matters that weighed upon thee grow lighter and pass away.
    13. The change shall not be sudden, but it shall come as a wise adjustment, bringing forth a clearer and more orderly path before thee.
    14. Therefore understand that the end of one matter is the preparing of another.
    15. For in such endings there is refinement, and the essence of a thing is preserved though its form be made new.
    16. Thus is the nature of the turning of life: that through the ending of a season, order is restored, and that which remaineth is made ready for what shall come thereafter. 
        
        ELI 6
        

        
        

        1. And it shall be known unto thee that the fulfillment of a certain desire of thy heart lieth not within the borders that presently surround thee.
        2. For the thing which thou seekest shall be found in a place afar off, and thou shalt make ready thyself for a journey that is of great importance unto thee.
        3. This journey hast thou long considered in thy heart, and the thought thereof hath dwelt with thee for many days.
        4. And it shall come to pass that thou shalt indeed take this journey, and it shall bring thee gladness and reward.
        5. For thy going forth shall prosper, and the memory thereof shall abide with thee as a good and pleasant remembrance.
        6. Yet while thou waitest for the appointed time, thou findest thyself as one that walketh within a labyrinth, as though shut in and unable to depart.
        7. Therefore be diligent and orderly in thy steps, and proceed with careful thought, that thou wander not continually in circles.
        8. Let not thy frustration overcome thee, neither let discouragement rule thy spirit.
        9. For within thy heart thou knowest that a way out existeth, and in due time thou shalt surely find it.
        10. In this matter lean not upon the whisperings of feeling alone, for the maze is made to trouble the sight and to confuse the understanding of those who pass through it.
        11. It is fashioned to distort perception and to weary the soul of the traveler.
        12. Yet be not dismayed, for though thou perceivest it not, the place of escape is near unto thee.
        13. Thou standest but a few steps from the opening that leadeth out.
        14. Therefore gather thy thoughts, and set thy feet again in right order, and thou shalt discern the path that was hidden from thee.
        15. And when thou hast found it, thou shalt depart from the maze and go forth upon the journey that hath long dwelt in thy heart.
            
            ELI 7
            

            
            

            1. And there shall appear unto thee a sign, even a message set before thee that thy heart might take heed.
            2. It shall not come with great noise nor with open display, but softly and with subtlety.
            3. For it may be as a familiar fragrance brought again to thy remembrance, or as a melody sounding at the very hour thy soul considereth its meaning.
            4. Or it may be that a small thing is moved from its place, and thy spirit perceiveth that it is not by chance alone.
            5. And in this thou shalt perceive a remembrance of one who hath departed from the earth, yet whose care and regard for thee hath not faded from thy life.
            6. For by such signs is thy mind stirred to remember the love once shared, and the days wherein thy paths were joined together.
            7. And the message thereof shall be known chiefly unto thee, for it shall speak to thy heart according to the memories thou holdest.
            8. Then shalt thou consider what this person signified in thy life, and the things which ye experienced together in times past.
            9. And it may come to pass that a friend shall stand with thee in this matter.
            10. For they may speak a tender word or recount a story concerning the one thou rememberest, and thy heart shall be moved.
            11. Or they themselves shall perceive the sign at the same hour as thou, confirming within thee that the moment is not without meaning.
            12. And by the faithfulness of this friendship thy heart shall be opened, and thou shalt share freely the thoughts and feelings that arise within thee.
            13. Therefore be attentive, for such moments call a man to reflection and understanding.
            14. For they are as a summons unto the soul, that it might awaken and discern the quiet workings of the spirit.
            15. And know this: that love and true friendship are not confined by the bounds of life alone.
            16. For the bonds that are formed in sincerity endure beyond the passing of days, and their remembrance bringeth comfort and guidance unto the heart.
            17. Thus consider these signs with reverence, and receive them as encouragement for thy journey.
            18. For they remind thee that thou art not forgotten, and that the ties of love endure beyond the veil of death.
