Indigenous American and Pacific Healing Traditions

Healers and scholars of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the Pacific: the Nahua physician Martin de la Cruz and the scholar Juan Badiano who made the Aztec herbal known as the Libellus of 1552 and the Hawaiian kahuna lapaau Morrnah Simeona who taught a reconciliation practice. A person belongs here when the cited article describes a healer or a recorder of the healing knowledge of an indigenous people of the Americas or Pacific. It excludes the African, Indian, Chinese and Islamic traditions, which have their own groups.
