Medicine man

Medicine man

On the Indian market near the Cathedral, we saw different Indians, specially dressed, who were performing a kind of ceremony. Look at the Indian in the pciture below and note the chicken on his hat. I am not sure, but it looked as if he was some kind of medicine man. Later on this same Medicine man was performing a kind of healing ceremony on an Indian woman. And more people were waiting for such a healing treatment. On the third picture you see another Medicine man who is preparing himself for the next ceremony. Remark the white thing in his right hand is not a cigarette but a kind of pencil he used for making up. If you ask me, he looked a bit scary with the skull on his head.
