If it says New Age or Shamanism on the cover, it's not a good source for learning about natives. ? http://users.pandora.be/gohiyuhi/nafps/index.htm
No, it's not, I agree, but it COULD be a good book to learn about Shamanism. ?

Suppose they called themselves “ Spirit Healers??? or “Soul Fixers???

It doesn't matter what they call themselves. ? People here simply toss them in the "nuage" category and the bashing continues. ?

As to the use of "Shaman" and related words....

"Native people DO NOT use the label Shaman".. http://users.pandora.be/gohiyuhi/nafps/index.htm

so, if Native people do not use the label Shaman, then why are they so upset with those who DO use? ?

LOL sorry, can't figure out how to use the quotes. But My reason for objecting to the word Shaman is that most that I have seen use this as "Native American Shaman", or use a "Cherokee Shaman, "Lakota Shaman".  It's a common error. Some Nations do not have one person Medicine Person that encompasses all. There can be different levels, and they have names. They are not named Shamans. frederica
