A medicine man is a person recognized as a local physician knowledable in the healing arts and serves at the will of the people in the community. The medicine man is an artist who applies with skill the endemic knowledge about healing arts to the local folklore. Not unlike the modern day physician who practice is measured in court against the norm of practice within the local community.

The communities for which this term is applied are often hunter-gatherer or agrarian. The medicine man is an artist who applies with skill the [endemic knowledge]? about healing arts to the local folklore. ''I am not qualified to edit this page, but I am qualified to ask one applies "healing arts" to a folklore, local or otherwise.'' Not unlike the modern day physician who practice is measured in court against the norm of practice within the local community. This is not a sentence. Can someone, anyone help out here? /Talk?
