Pobehope Moemberg was recognized by both Shoshone Latter-day Saints and white church leaders as a 'bo’hagunt,' or recipient of spiritual power. Bishop George M. Ward described her as a very spiritual person who received manifestations that provided foreknowledge of events that would subsequently occur.

“George M. Ward, who served as the third Euro-American bishop of the Washakie Ward, later described her as a “very spiritual person” who “had manifestations of some kind that told her of events and things that happened, and they happened after.” — Native Saints: A Database of Latter-day Saint Native Americans, Pobehope Moemberg (ca. 1826–1921)”
