Abstract

The medicine practiced by early American Indian tribes was based on nature, belief in spirits and the tribe's culture. Medicine men used herbs, animal parts and rituals to cure the sick and to maintain health. Native Americans practiced better hygiene than their white counterparts. Despite this, a huge number of Indian people were still wiped out by diseases and epidemics.
