Since you posted this under "Algonquian Indians" I guess you mean what is the term in the Algonquian languages. A few examples are:

Powhatan.............................quiyouckosuck

Delaware..............................quecksa'piet

Abenaki..................................patlihôz

Maliseet............................nutomesket or pahtoliyas

Mohegan...........................môyikow

Naskapi.............................iyimiyaaw-uchimaaw

Ojibwe..............................anama`ewinini or anami`ewigimaa or gagiikwewinini

Modern scholars refer to the medicine men of all native cultures as priests, shamans or medicine men (medicine deriving from the French term for a doctor).
