Chief LeTava Mabilijengo is The Presiding Chief of The Wakati Tribe. The Wakati Tribe is a tribe of Afrikans born in the Diaspora with ancient matriarchal values. The word Wakati literally translates (from the Swahili language) to mean “time.” This name was adopted by the tribe because the Ancestors have dictated that “It is time.”
The tribe’s land trust is located in Indiana and is home to Emerging Scholars Institute (our home school co-op), The Sage House Self-improvement Center and the tribe's Great Garden.
Chief LeTava has been a home school educator for nearly 25 years. In 1995, she organized a Black home school network in Indiana. The infrastructure of that network later became the prototype for a nationally acclaimed primary and secondary school that still operates in Indianapolis, Indiana today. She has worked extensively with the facilitating of rites of passage programs and is the Founding Mother of The Black Woman's Agenda.
Chief LeTava is a steadfast activist for the restoration of Black people and the ancient value system of matriarchy. She is an electrifying motivational speaker and author. She conducts workshops, seminars and training units in the areas of Matriarchal Nation-building, Ancient spirituality, parenting, and Afrikan-centered male/female relationships. She has put these principles into practice for more than twenty years.
