The minor native version of the Healer can be trained at a Trading Post built on a Maya settlement. Once the Trading Post is built in a Maya settlement, the Native Healer can also be trained in other Trading Posts built in other minor native settlements. They can also be rescued from treasures.
Since The Asian Dynasties, due to a bug, the option to train Native Healers from Trading Posts built in a Maya and other minor native settlements is missing, being possible to train them only from Native Embassies. This has been fixed in the Definitive Edition.

Trivia[]
There is an unused portrait and textures for the Sioux Holy Dance button for the Sioux Medicine Man in The WarChiefs. This was corrected in the Definitive Edition, where the Lakota Healer uses its own portrait and specific textures for the Healers Ceremony button (since update 3552).
Both "Medicine Man" and "Shaman" refer to Native American healers and spiritual leaders. "Medicine Man" can be misleading, as not all were male and many of their responsibilities had little to do with physical healing. These Shaman were responsible for both the physical and the spiritual health of the people in their tribe.
Both "Healer" and "Elder" refer to Native American healers and spiritual leaders. Not all were male and many of their responsibilities had little to do with physical healing. They were responsible for both the physical and the spiritual health of the people in their nation.
