| Summary: | David Milton and Sadie Mowatt performing a healing ceremony on Barlow Green. Ernest Hyzims drums behind them. Personal health depended on the condition of the soul. If the soul became lost while separated from the body during a dream, or was driven out by witchcraft, a curer was hired to find it and restore it. Gitxsan healing shamans wear bearskin robes, aprons, and crowns of grizzly-bear claws. They also use a number of aids, including round rattles, skin drums, and charms. |
