    What does DNA have to do with Shamanism O.O
    Different culture of Shamans do different things. I've seen videos of Shamans from Africa, and they're very different from Hmong Shamans.

  • There where " ...

    There where "Shamans" in ever nation. Different clans merley had a speciality so to speak. Bear Clan has a natural attraction to Herbal healing.Shamanism is like a profession, certain people are called or attracted to that profession. Most are chosen by the spirits to become shamans, So there wasnt an exclusion cos you didnt belong to a certain clan or nation. The same core principles of shamanism exist(ed) in all indiginous peoples all over the planet. ITS A UNIVERSAL TRUTH!

  • Some indiginous ...

    Some indiginous peoples in the US of A do resent whites learning shamanism. I am of the opion thou that the irony of it is good. If more "whitemen" where to learn shamanism the earth would be in a much better condition. Bruce Lee said he was teaching Kung Fu to whites so that they would come to see the beauty of the Chinese people and culture. Same goes here. Nothing in shamanism can be lost as the spirit world never forgets. Iassure you that Native american shamanism is very much alive!

  • of copying them or ...

    of copying them or tring to be a member when all evidence point to people that are just wanabees and is also pretty obvious. The Native Americans or at least some tribes think it should be only practiced in thier own group and no place else. Plese get back to me as soon as possible if any of this information comes across as faulty, out of date or inaccruate but before you respond i would just like to say that i have also got this information from both white and Native
    American people.

    Now this is just what i heard and nothing more BUT i heard that the traditions are not nessacerly lost but passed down from word of mouth and one generation to the next. Shamanism is extremely an in-thing or in other words certain Native American groups only practiced Shamanism if they belonged to a particular clan or family or nation. Native Americans looked down on anybody else white man or not who was not in there group and still tried practice shamanism because they believe this was a form o

  • Shamanism ...

    Shamanism originally referred to the traditional healers of Turkic areas such as Northern Asia (Siberia). Siberia is regarded as the locus classicus of shamanism.

    Turkic People and Native Americans share the same DNA.
