Please print clearly your snail mail address, so that I may return materials, along with a note given me permission to use the materials in this book. This is a Book Corbin Harney authorized me to write, and I have been working on it for quite a while. This is a record of Corbin's non-stop fight against radioactivity and his attempts to have the traditional lands returned to the Newe people(after it had been cleaned up) under the Treaty of Ruby Valley 1863 and the people who helped him know as The Shundahai Network. ********************************** Please Remember Corbin's last words. "Before he passed, he said to remember: “We are one people. We cannot separate ourselves now. There are many good things to be done for our people and for the world. It is important to let things be good. And it is important to teach the younger generation, so that things are not lost." These are the words we need to remember and to follow, if you ever believed in Corbin,PLEASE try to live by these words and remember he also said "We only have One Air,One Water and One Mother Earth" Please try to live by these set of principals, let the little stuff go, make friends with those you are mad at, but can't remember why. Life is too precious to waste on hate. We need to act as one people, working together to shut down the Nuclear cycle. Just because Corbin's body is gone , his words and wisdom still apply. Do something good today.

Public Statement by Thanks to the Western Shoshone Defense Project for this release July 10, 2007 (TurtleIsland). Corbin Harney Spiritual Leader of the Western Shoshone Nation crossed over at 11:00 a.m. this morning in a house on a sacred mountain near Santa Rosa, CA (Turtle Island). He had dedicated his life to fighting the nuclear testing and dumping. That battle claimed his life through cancer. Before he passed, he said to remember: “We are one people. We cannot separate ourselves now. There are many good things to be done for our people and for the world. It is important to let things be good. And it is important to teach the younger generation so that things are not lost.” According to witnesses present, in the morning fog, the spirits of four Shoshoni dog soldiers were outside on horseback before Corbin’s passing. But then one of the Shoshone present, Santiago Lozada, yelled “Tosawi Tosawi!” (White Knife). And then the fog shifted and there were thousands of spirits waiting. Corbin passed peacefully at the end. He was only worried that he still had more to do. When he finally let go and went with the dog soldiers, Red Wolf Pope, grandson of Rolling Thunder, was present and sang him the Tosawi death song to call the dog soldiers to come take him home. Golden eagles continue to circle the house hours after his crossing.” True to form Corbin joked around several days ago that he was going to go at 11:00, and kept his promise. Over his lifetime, Corbin traveled around the world as a speaker, healer and spiritual leader with a profound spiritual and environmental message for all. He received numerous national and international awards and spoke before the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Corbin also authored two books: “The Way It Is: One Water, One Air, One Earth” (Blue Dolphin Publishing, 1995) and a forthcoming book, “The Nature Way”. Numerous documentaries have been made about his work and message. In 1994, Corbin established the Shundahai Network to work with people and organizations to respond to spiritual and environmental concerns on nuclear issues. He also established Poo Ha Bah, a native healing center located in Tecopa Springs, California. He will be missed but always honored for his work and dedication to traditional ways. Corbin Harney is descended from generations of Newe (Shoshone) traditional healers and was always grateful for the many extraordinary teachers who shared their knowledge in his lifetime. Corbin is survived by his daughter Reynaulda Taylor; granddaughters Ann Taylor and Nada Leno; grandsons Keith, Jon and Joel Leno and William Henry Taylor; seven great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; and his sister Rosie Blossom’s family and many cousins and other family members as well as many, many friends around the world. Corbin was preceded in death by his mother, father, sister, grandparents, uncle, great granddaughter, cousins, and friends. A very special thanks to Patricia Davidson, Corbin’s caregiver in his final months; Dominic Daileda, Corbin’s friend and companion for his support and compassion in hard times, and the family of Dixie and Martin van der Kamp for opening up their home and their hearts to Corbin and his family and friends during his time of need.

Highlighted film: Trespassing Watch Corbin Harney praying for the land and people
Box of RainLook out of any window any morning, any evening, any day Maybe the sun is shining birds are winging or rain is falling from a heavy sky-- What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through? this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway feel your way,feel your way like the day before Maybe you'll find direction around some corner where it been waiting to meet you-- What do you want me to do, to watch for you while your sleeping? Well please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming, too
Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear throught to another day I know it's been seen before through other eyes on other days while going home-- What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through? It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way throught dead dreams to another land Maybe you're tired and broken Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken anf thoughts unclear What do you want me to do to do for you to see you through A box of rain will ease the paqin and love will see you throught
Just a box of rain wind and water believe it if you need it if you don't just pass it on Sun and shower, window and rain in and out the window like a moth before the flame
It's just a box of rain I don't don't know who put it there Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare But it's just a box of rain or a ribbon for your hair Such a long,long time to be gone and a short time to be there Song by the Grateful Dead Words by Robert Hunter Music by Phil Lesh All photos and content of this website are copyrighted |
