This is a story about Medicine Woman.
When a Woman reache's Menopause, she frequently recieve's the Power from Medicine Man or from Vision's, to engage in various ritual's. Someone in need of the Medicine Woman's service would send a member of the family to her home with a Filled Pipe. The same way a Medicine Man was approached. The two discussed the Nature of the illness, and if the
