CORBIN HARNEY
Spiritual Advisor

Corbin Harney is an Elder and spiritual leader of the Western Shoshone and author of The Way It Is: One Water, One Air, One Mother Earth. Since 1957 he has worked with medicine women of Battle Mountain, Nevada, running the Sundance Ceremony, the sweat lodges and helping sick people.

As a medicine person, he has also been working steadily to preserve and protect the sacred sites and burial grounds of his people. As a medicine man, he has worked with nuclear victims throughout the world. His sad experience with Down Winders who are suffering horrible deaths from nuclear fallout includes mutated children in Kazakhstan hospitals who lived close to the Russian nuclear test site.

Corbin has been to Japan where he was the keynote speaker at the Atomic and Hydrogen Bomb conference. The powerful message he brought of peace and respect for our planet touched the hearts of the still-recovering Japanese.

People who know Corbin have seen him communicate with the natural elements and living things, and they have seen the results. "All of us are gifted," Corbin says. "We just need to open up the gifts by praying in our own way, singing our songs and talking to everything out there with love and respect.... This will open up a totally new world for you. Amazing things will happen if you are patient. This is how we will heal ourselves and our Mother Earth."

Corbin Harney has just recently completed his second book, "The Nature Way", in which he shares the traditional knowledge that his people, the Newe, have followed since time immemorial. "The Nature Way" gives deeper insight into Corbin's early life, the teachings of his grandmother and the ways in which he learned to rely upon nature for his survival.
By talking about the importance of all life on this Mother Earth, Corbin inspires us to return to "the nature way," so that we can "start taking care of the land, beautifying our land, helping each other, sharing things together, then we can do a beautiful thing"
