Really need white anthopologists, archaeologists, and historians to stop referring to religious people in W. Europe as 'shamans'. Stop using Indigenous terminology like that. It's irresponsible and inaccurate.

"Shaman" seems to be applied wholesale to religions and belief systems across the world to describe a whole variety of practices from an ethnographic perspective. We don't need to rely on this kind of terminology. If they didn't or do not use the world shaman, then we shouldn't.
