ISBN: 9781597141178.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometime in 1933, in Northern Californias lush Humboldt County, a Karuk medicine woman named Daisy Jones had a vision identifying the tribes next medicine woman. Later that year, Mavis Smither (McCovey) was born, and in the first twelve years of her life she was groomed by a designated group of medicine women to become a spiritual healer.\nMedicine Trails is Mavis McCoveys honest and lively account of the many worlds in which she moves: the Indian and white cultural worlds, and the day-to-day and visionary reality of the medicine womans world, as well as trips to what she calls \"the other side\": one of the responsibilities of a medicine woman is to bring back a medicine mans soul if he gets lost on the trails of the world beyond - a task McCovey has been called upon to do.\nOne of very few first-person accounts of Native American healers, Medicine Trails is invaluable for its insights into the experiences of a modern-day medicine woman. And McCovey is a warm and engaging guide not only to her life, but also her familys history and the history of the Karuk, Yurok, and Hupa peoples of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Heyday Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948147109941,"sku":"ByrdShop_1597141178","price":227.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781597141178_cf97a7ab-e163-4704-9579-ab7e87fa9735.jpg?v=1781308679","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/medicine-trails-a-life-in-many-worlds-9781597141178","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
