Manchu people
Manchu folk religion is the ethnic religion practised by most of the Manchu people, the major of the Tungusic peoples, in China. It may also be called "Manchu Shamanism" ( "Mǎnzú sàmǎnjiào") by virtue of the word "shaman" being originally from Tungusic "šamán" ("man of knowledge"), later applied by Western scholars to similar religious practices in other cultures.
