Greetings from France ,
by accident I had read somewhere on the net that it existed a "bone keepers society " among the Lakota !
I had never heard something about such a society and the only thing I had found was as follow :
"According to Tyon (in Walker1980 ) the Bone Keepers Society made special love potions for young men rejected by women ; Using a hair from a woman's head they could her to suffer a violent , unceasing nosebleed . Eventually her father would be forced to ask the Bone Keepers to cure her , promising them in return that she would marry the young man responsible for her affliction ! "
So , I would like to learn more about this society( of course they kept also bones but what kind of bones ? ):
-What were their other duties ,their practices and their regalia ?
-Who were the members , how were they selected and what kind of society was it ?
(It that this society was a men society and that the members are very secret about their practices )
