Dineh Larry Emerson, gentle giant, passes to Spirit WorldOur friend Larry Emerson, Dineh, passed to the Spirit World.
John Redhouse, Dineh, said in tribute to Larry Emerson, "Larry was our Navajo National Treasure. We have indeed lost a great man—intellectually, spiritually culturally, in every way. With his loss, our lives in this world, Fourth World, will never be the same."
Six years ago, Larry sent this wish list to Censored News.
Larry, gentle giant, farmer, scholar, and Earth Defender, always ahead to his time, urged the Navajo Nation to adopt the Rights of the Natural World. Wish -- "Navajo Nation adopts democratic measures to include rights of the Natural World. Opening clause reads: “We, the People and the Natural World…” Navajo communities agreed that ancient Indigenous knowledge regarding harmony, beauty, happiness, peace and balance were the real imperatives that sustain a healthy democracy." -- Larry Emerson, 2011 Read more of his wishes for the Navajo Nation https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2017/10/dr-larry-emerson-journeys-to-spirit.html
