In Native American cultures, medicine people are traditionally known as healers, shamans, wise men or women, and medicine men or women. These individuals possess special spiritual and healing powers that allow them to connect with the spiritual world and help those in need of physical and emotional healing. In some tribes, they may also be called holy men or women, medicine elders, or spiritual leaders. The role of a medicine person is highly respected within their communities and often involves ceremonies, rituals, and the use of herbs and natural remedies. Regardless of the term used, these individuals play a vital role in their tribe's spiritual and physical well-being.
