Chippewa Customs

Description: 

Chippewa shamans were of two types: one who treated the sick without material remedies and the other who administered herbs and other remedies. The purpose of the former was to work on the mind of the sick person and by that means produce a recovery. List of "ideal" remedies attached. Excerpts only from larger volume.
