It already happened in Canada. Activist judge ruled that the child protection services or Canadian government could not force "Western medicine" with 70%+ chance of success on an aboriginal girl who had a 0% chance to survive without it ( no kid survives her specific type of leukemia without chemo ). And that native american medicine was totally valid.

What sort of "native american traditional knowledge" whatever medicine? Biblically-inspired cereal infusions.

The girl died.

Then race grifting activists will insist more aboriginal children die because of "White Supremacy".

Similar thing happens with kids taken from abusive parents. If those parents/kids are Aboriginal, race-grifting activists successfully lobbied for a policy making so they are housed in a family of the same nation + "extra ressources".

The predictable consequence is they are housed near their abusers and there are no avaliable family that would qualify on the reservation, so standarts are simply lowered.

So kids still live near their abusers, often with different abusers, and a few months ago there was yet another scandal that the kids in foster homes kept getting sexually-abused.

Did the activists do some introspection for causing this? No. They blamed White people.

At a local Native American medical clinic about a decade ago, they did have on staff a couple of elders who procured and maintained storerooms of Native medicines in parallel to the actual allopathic treatment.

From what I could tell though, it was mostly for show.

I wasn't aware of anyone foregoing Western treatment to exclusively opt for the shaman.

Reminds me of a really good movie from 1971, "The Hospital."

Diana Rigg plays the daughter of a patient in a huge NYC hospital of which George C. Scott is the head honcho.

Rigg brings in an indian shaman to "cure" her father, so at night the nurses on rounds hear all sorts of bizarre chants and shaking of gourds and such.
