The source of the word shaman comes from certain tribal people of Siberia, the Evenki (formerly known as Tungus or Solon) people, and specifically relates to them.  It has been applied more generally to other cultures around the world, losing its original relationship with the Evenki people.  This generalisation of the word can be problematic in that it reduces nuance and groups many cultures together that although they may have commonalities are in fact different.  In respect and gratitude to the Evenki people, the Shamanic Healers Circle describes shamanic healer members as practitioners and not shaman.
