The medicine man in a tribes job was to treat the people in the tribe. He would try to remove any bad/evil spirits, and people who were ill within the tribe would go to him, for example if someone had a head-ache they would go to him and he would do an operation called "trephaning" were he would make a hole in the skull with a sharp rock.
