"Medicine Man" a Woman

The term medicine man" is some
what OF misnomer, s the reader
might be led TO believe that n medicine
man is a man who dispenses medicine.
This is quite wrong, for not only are
they ignorant OF medicine. but as likely
as not the medicine man" is woman.
AS matter OF fact, the most celebrated
medicine man" in Alaska at the pres
ent time is woman. according 10 a
writer in the Wide World magazine.
The lady rejoices in the name of No-ha-
de-lan. Fer name, literally translated
means The woman who never came
back" Where. or how she got this
curious cognomen I was never able to
learn. but the old lady Is very proud
OF 1t.
No Ina -de-lan lives at the mouth of
the Koyukuk River, a tributary Of the
Yukon. and has been the head Of her
tribe for many years. To obtain the
post OF witch doctor it is necessary. ac-
cordine 10 tribal lore. that the appli-
cant should have some peculiar physi-
cal or mental development. Hunch-
backs are in great demand. and
childless woman is looked upon as n
certain possessor of superna tural pow
ers. Any one afflicted with palsy or st.
Nitus's dance also can obtain first
class job. 1t would seem. however, from
the viewpoint Of an impartial observ-
er. that the witch doctors. besides these
aDnOT11aHtleS. are generally the pos
SCISSORS of a few more brains than their
compatriots. Relying upon a few old
tricks and their own native intelli-
Gcnce. they manage to fool their neigh
bors and lead a nice easy life, accu-
mulating for themselves a good supply
Of this worlds riches as the Indian
understands them. 1t might be as we'll
to explain. by the way that the terms
witch doctor" and medicine man" are
Synonymous. The Russian word "sha-
man" is often used in Alaska to de-
scribe medicine,man. but the Indians
themselves always address him by the
reverent term "teynen." or, in the case
of female, "soltan teynen."
All over Alaska the name OF No-ha-
de-lan is heard with fear and trem-
bling by the natives, and all other medi-
cine-men acknowledge her supremacy.
To be successful mediterranean 1T Is
necessary to have devil working for
you-invisible, of course. but mono the
less potent While other medicine men
are content to have one poor. lone little
devil at their beck and call. No-ha-de-
Ian claims to have ten working for
her. all fierce. strong devils, and all
most Industrious! 1t seems that No
a-de-lan was the first "teynen" In
Alaska to introduce the idea Of a plu-
rality of devils. and her enterprise has
been rewarded by tho accumulation Of
many furs and far-reaching notoriety.
