Built on Action & Rooted in Community.

Our Mission
At War Party Ranch, we are fiercely committed to taking action in breaking cycles of abuse and fundamentally changing the way women are treated across the country and particularly in Native communities.
War Party Ranch provides opportunities for women and girls to develop working and life skills that foster independence and self-reliance in all aspects of their lives. The goal is to create a community where women can learn, grow, and support one another through shared experiences and practical education.
Through education, mentorship, sponsorship, and direct intervention, War Party Ranch works to help women strengthen their confidence and develop skills that carry forward into their personal lives, relationships, and future opportunities.
The People Behind The Mission

Natasha McCann
PRESIDENT
Natasha is the President of War Party Ranch, as well as the Owner/Founder of McCann Athletic Therapy. Natasha has an extensive background in Sports Medicine, Emergency Medicine, as well as the ranching and rodeo industry, working closely with the PRCA, PBR, and MLB. Natasha grew up playing sports, pursuing a professional basketball career, but ultimately decided to work in the western world, riding colts and cowboying on several large cattle operations in the Northwest. After a catastrophic injury riding colts, Natasha found a new passion for helping others who were facing similar circumstances as she did. She was already a Nationally Licensed EMT, and went on to achieve a Dual Board Certification in Clinical Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Manual Therapy. She now runs her own practice and is the premier manual therapy provider for professional rodeo athletes. Natasha initially joined War Party Ranch as a physical wellness provider, but fell in love with the mission and quickly ensconced herself in the community, helping produce the first WPR Wellness Clinic and searching for more avenues of outreach. Natasha aims to be a champion for all women, whether their interests lie in ranching, rodeo, physical fitness, or simply self-empowerment.

Jeremiah Wilber
FOUNDER
Jeremiah Wilber is the Founder of the War Party Movement and one of the cofounders of War Party Ranch. With an illustrious career spanning over 20 years in the U.S. Army, Jeremiah served as a decorated Green Beret with multiple combat deployments to regions including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa. Following his tenure in the military, Jeremiah transitioned into a pivotal role collaborating with NGOs to combat the heinous crimes of sex trafficking, slavery, and human sacrifice worldwide, particularly focusing on the rescue of women and children. He founded the War Party Movement as a tribute to his mother, Louise “Mountain Lamb” Wilber, Mescalero Apache, aiming to continue her legacy of service in the Native Community. Driven by a profound commitment to honor his family and to continue to live the Special Forces motto “De Oppresso Liber” (To Free the Oppressed) Jeremiah's mission extends beyond locating Missing Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) to proactively preventing such atrocities from occurring.

Mikah Wysoki
CO-FOUNDER
Mikah Wysocki is one of the cofounders of War Party Ranch. Growing up on the back of a horse, Mikah has made a very successful career in horse and ranching industries. She has trained horses and people for over 15 years, as well as produced several events in the rodeo and horse industry. Mikah has competed at a local and professional level in roping, cowhorse and ranch rodeos, winning several buckles and accomplishments along the way. She also is very involved in the production of some larger professional rodeos and ranch rodeos in Colorado; receiving many awards for her efforts. Her biggest accomplishment though, is the group of young women she has mentored through her love of horses. Many of the young ladies she has trained, mentored and counseled through life walked hard roads, experiencing all types of abuse. Many of these young ladies are competing at National levels now. Educated in Equine Science and Cattle Reproduction, Mikah works closely with some of the top veterinarians in the nation. She enjoys sharing her passion for the western way of life, with everyone she meets along the way.

Marisa LaRen
CO-FOUNDER
Marisa LaRen is not only the Self-Defense/Firearms Director, but also one of the founders of War Party Ranch. At 17 years-of-age, Marisa fell prey to a manipulative relationship where she was groomed by a predator. After escaping, she was unfortunately involved in another such relationship which ultimately was the precursor for her current involvement in firearms and self-defense. Following this, Marisa began MMA and firearms training, eventually competing in a substantial number of national and international shooting competitions. She is now a sponsored shooter for top-tier companies including Staccato and Super Vel ammunition. She has trained extensively with some of the world’s best competitive shooters and even expanded her skillset to include multiple forms of self-defense including muay thai, boxing and jujitsu. Seeking to help women realize their potential and prove that the past does not define them, Marisa is committed to making a difference. She has volunteered at women’s shelters and is a mental health advocate, showing women that they too are capable of moving past the victim-abuse cycle faced by survivors.

Tiajah Nelson
SECRETARY
Tiajah Jo Nelson was born and raised in Mud Lake, Idaho. After high school, she attended the College of Southern Idaho and later Boise State, where she earned a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice with the intention of pursuing a law degree. Somehow during her studies she stumbled into a boxing gym and had her first fight two months into training. Despite a two year record of losses, her love for the sport only grew. After securing her first win, she clinched two championship titles and cemented her name on the National Golden Gloves Team. Her time as a sanctioned fighter with USA Boxing led her to Las Vegas chasing a professional boxing career.
Tiajah has held many roles in between the lines of boxing and college. She nannied for families, including professional breakaway roper Jackie Crawford, was “Head of Distribution” for an LA based publishing firm, and held several serving jobs. Throughout these diverse roles, she witnessed the vulnerability of children, deepening her resolve to protect them. With eight nieces and nephews whom she has helped raise at a young age into adulthood, her situational awareness was almost instinctual and assumed a protective role in the lives of others.
Recognizing that not everyone possesses inherent self-awareness, Tiajah is committed to teaching others how to cultivate this essential skill to avoid becoming victims in a predatory world. As a competitive fighter, she understands the importance of both handling and avoiding dangerous situations. Her greatest aspiration is to impart the knowledge and skills to clock threats before they escalate.
