Once upon a time when many of the tribes lived close together with the Mayans, the Cherokee had Shamans, as did the other tribes. But something bad happened. The Shamans, or Priests, as they were sometimes called, began literally expelling the hearts of people instead of symbolically, when they were suppose to be healing individuals. The Shamans/Priests began killing the people of all tribes in a madness of supposedly ridding the world of evil. The tribes separated. Then the Cherokee killed out all the Shamans from their tribe. It became against the law of the nation to be a Shaman. That is why until this day a true Cherokee Medicine Man will not admit he is a Medicine Man. It is for the tribe to say if he is a true Medicine Man, for the tribe to say if he has this Medicine.
