Navajo Medicine Men and Women... The knowledge used by medicine - TopicsExpress



          

Navajo Medicine Men and Women... The knowledge used by medicine people comes from other medicine people who came before them and handed down their medicine to chosen ones. They train for many years and the medicine formulas, songs, and instruments have been handed down over time. Many Navajo tribe healers are traditionally trained as apprentices over an indeterminate extended period of time. Beginners align themselves with a healing elder whom they trust to supervise their overall growth.... There are fewer medicine people alive and still practicing today but those few are still known by traditionalists and others in the Navajo communities... ;-)
