After all, I married one.
The Medicine Man would have been as useful as the average priest. What you would want would be the Medicine Woman, a healer, not someone to commune with the spirits. Of course the latter did not have as much work after my wife's people converted to Christianity over 200 years ago, but that did not stop the theft of 10 million acres of land from their people.
So please spare me your diatribe.

“My view of Indians is certainly different from yours.
After all, I married one.”
Don’t confuse culture with individuals. I see all people as having great potential. I don’t for a second believe individual Indians are inferior to caucasians or blacks or any other grouping.
But, we’ll have to disagree. I see the Indian culture as a flawed, inferior culture that was overrun.
The Indians lost.
