| Abstract | The purpose of this dissertation is to describe powwowing, a folk medical tradition, as it appears to the people who practice it and use it in central Pennsylvania. This tradition is not seen as an isolated practice, but as part of religion, community life, and medicine. While this study will focus on powwowing, it will appear as part of a way of life, of folklore |
