Hi, I appreciate your fixing the capitalizations, and adding text about appropriation, etc. But please be mindful about not conflating Native American, or FNIM ceremonial ways with shamanism. Shamanism, when applied to these cultures is usually a term of erasure, and the writings that call Native ways by this misnomer are almost always inaccurate and problematic. If you are in doubt about how to contribute to Native articles, or where to put Native content (not in Shamanism articles) maybe coming over to the Native wikiproject and asking for feedback could be helpful.
