Indica is considered to be the strongest of the three remaining
Ulchi shaman. Over the last five years, her reputation has spread
and people have travelled hundreds of miles to seek her treatment
for their health problems. I was expecting a very strong woman -
however, when I met her, she seemed very small and frail. It had
been just four weeks since her only son died in a boating accident.
Indica had asked Lindsa, the Nanai shaman, to help her son's soul
get to Buni Village (The Other World) as she did not have the energy
to do it herself. (Ulchi)
