Patricia Rose Lafountain traces to Machequayaince Ah-Dik Songab through both her mother and father. Through her mother she also traces Matrilineally to Utinawasis Adik Songab. Her maternal grandparents were the union of the Machequayaince and Utinawasis bloodline which are the star woman bloodlines to Jigonhsasee the Clan Mother and Matriarch of the Deer Clan when the Great Peacemaker came to the lands and called her the mother of all nations, extending relationships between nations with her family lines.

The Clan Mother is very important in the role of Ojibway culture. When the Peacemaker came to the warring people, it was a woman, the Deer Clan Mother or Female Grand Chief Jigonhsasee, who first accepted Peacemaker’s vision of peace. Because of her vision the Peacemaker gave women important duties in the O’Jibway, the Clan Mother. The Red Bear Pembina Chippewa hold this line sacred as it is the matrilineal connection to the woman chosen by the Great Peacemaker to lead.
