Native American Elder and Wisdom Keeper

USA

Grand Chief Woableza (Wo-a-blay-za) is a Holyman and Wisdom Keeper of indigenous peoples. As a noted American Indian spiritual leader, elder, storyteller, singer and cultural consultant, he has traveled across the continent for over 30 years gathering stories, songs and dances from the elders of many tribes. Now, he shares that wisdom with people across the continent and around the world.

Woableza is a great grandson of the famed Dakotah Sioux "Chief Ti Wakan" (Sacred Lodge) who was instrumental in restoring peace between the Dakota and the United States Army during the great Indian wars. He is a follower of the teachings of the famous Lakota Holyman, Chief Tatanka Iyotake (Sitting Bull).

Woableza is fast becoming one of the most sought after spiritual leaders and teachers in the country. He is following in the footsteps of his famous ancestors and may well exceed them in the power of his unique gifts. Woableza is a Peace Teacher. He teaches about peace found within and peace among people and nations. He teaches about finding peace with Mother Earth and all creation.

Woableza appeared in the movie "Thunder Heart" and a PBS special, "Everything Has a Spirit." He founded the Indian News Network and Cheyenne River Public Television. Woableza is an Elder with the Spirit Walkers of Turtle Island. He was a member of the National Congress of American Indians, National Museum of American Indian and the Native American Producers Association.

The accomplishments of Woableza are more extensive than can be noted here. His most notable accomplishment cannot be properly defined in writing. He gives himself completely to others. He sees their hurts and cares in a way that transcends simple compassion. People feel his strength and courage. They hear his wisdom and learn trust, faith and love. Robert Woableza LaBatte is a true, traditional and bigger than life American Indian!
