You have to be sure someone can keep telling the stories, huh?
[Thompson:]
Yes, and that’s where we come into problems when it comes to medicine, you know. People—in our culture, it is believed that you are specially chosen to be the medicine woman or the medicine doctor.
[Lindberg:]
Yes, right, sure. I’m used to that.
[Thompson:]
So, you know, once you’re chosen you cannot relay your secret information to other people unless the spirit tells you that that person is the one you have to reveal it to, so because of that a lot of the remedies that worked, you know, I don’t know.
