OUR HISTORY

Our journey, newest first.

See our latest confirmed milestones first, with earlier accomplishments preserved below so you can follow how NDE Sovereign Life Collective is growing.

  1. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION · NEXT STEP

    Bank account setup moving forward

    We are pleased to share another step in building NDE Sovereign Life Collective's foundation: our bank has given us approval to move forward with setting up an account in NSLC's name. We plan to complete the setup process on Friday, November 6, 2026. The account is not yet open, and we will publish a separate update once the setup is officially completed.

    Small milestones matter. Establishing dedicated banking for NSLC will help us strengthen financial organization and accountability as we work toward serving our community.

  2. PUBLIC INFORMATION

    Leadership and progress published online

    The website introduced accurate co-founder and board information and added dated progress reporting, helping community members and supporters distinguish completed organizational steps from future facilities.

  3. PROGRAM PREPARATION · EQUIPMENT SOURCING

    Wholesale account approved with Century Martial Arts

    On October 19, 2026, NDE Sovereign Life Collective received approval for a wholesale purchasing account with Century Martial Arts. This gives NSLC an established source to explore for uniforms, training equipment and other supplies as we prepare to develop our Indigenous Martial Arts program.

    It's another practical step toward making future training opportunities sustainable. This is a purchasing account approval, not an announcement of sponsorship, a donated equipment award or the launch of classes.

  4. BUSINESS LICENSING

    Business license obtained

    NSLC obtained its business license as another step in formalizing the organization's administrative and operational foundation. License details may be provided upon appropriate request.

  6. WASHINGTON STATE REGISTRATION

    Charitable Organization Registration filed

  7. ESTABLISHMENT

    NDE Sovereign Life Collective established

    Co-founders Hawk Armstrong and Kiki Dabbs established NSLC to advance Indigenous cultural education, family wellness, community connection and responsible stewardship of the land.

    Meet our co-founders ↗

The August 17 state registration date and registration number are supported by a Washington Secretary of State filing confirmation letter. Establishment, federal 501(c)(3) recognition and business-license dates are provided by NSLC leadership. The business license relates to organizational administration and does not imply that the proposed RV park has received land-use or operating permits. The date of internal app configuration is not established to a specific day and is described separately below.

WORK UNDERWAY

Turning commitment into action.

Organizational work matters even before a land-based campus opens. Here is how current preparation supports future community benefit.

ADMINISTRATION & GOVERNANCE

Responsible organization

Our founders and board provide leadership and oversight. Record-keeping for grants, tasks, volunteers and fundraising helps the organization prepare for accountable decisions, transparent reporting and future opportunities.

PARTNERSHIPS & FUNDING

Building practical support

NSLC welcomes conversations with prospective funders, educators, volunteers, technical advisers and community partners. Funding priorities emphasize charitable purposes, while guest-only or commercial facilities must be evaluated separately for eligibility.

COMMUNITY & LAND PLANNING

Connecting purpose and place

Our planning considers cultural education, traditional Taekwon-Do, family wellness, wildlife habitat and low-impact land stewardship. A suitable property, sound engineering, permits and financial support would be required before opening facilities.

PROJECT ROADMAP

What comes next.

The NDE RV Park & Wellness Center remains a capital-project goal. The roadmap below lists priorities, not completed facilities or guaranteed dates.

PRIORITY 01 · FUNDING & PARTNERSHIPS

Build the support network

Pursue appropriate grants, community support, professional partners and responsible financial planning for charitable components.

PRIORITY 02 · LAND & FEASIBILITY

Evaluate the right property

Identify a suitable site; complete due diligence, ecological review, infrastructure assessments and required local approvals before any construction commitment.

PRIORITY 03 · IMPLEMENTATION

Develop facilities and programs

Advance the dojang, community learning areas, guest amenities and conservation plans in phases if land, financing and permits allow.

Progress reporting: Completed items above are organizational or website milestones, not claims that NSLC has acquired land, received specific grants, served a stated number of participants or opened the RV Park & Wellness Center. We will publish those outcomes only after they can be confirmed.
