Hilary Kolodziej- Outside reading 2

Another article I read for my final paper was about Siberian shamans. The author, William Howells, describes how the shamans contain the spirits of animals so that the villagers would find them familiar. The shaman has a great responsibility, it is their job to keep an equilibrium of emotion in the tribe. The shamans are the center of life in Siberian tribes and are considered to be the most powerful member in society.
