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.

and that it should not get applied wholesale to Indigenous religions as it has been, and especially not to places where they did not use the term at all and there is no evidence they used it is a highly frustrating conversation to have.
