Description The three presentations were great. Through them, I was able to learn new things about the shamanism in India, Bhutan, and Turkey. Because I don't’ know the shamanism in each of the three areas, I will ask basic questions which came up as I read the presentation script. These questions will make up my discussion about the presentation. My first question regards the cultural struggles of shaman healing in India. In the presentation, the presenter presumes that some shaman tradition are authentic and some are not. What is authentic shaman tradition, and how are authentic and false shaman tradition classified?
