Navajo do not have "shaman" so there is no word for it. They have Hataałii. He is someone who performs traditional Navajo ceremonies. He is sort of a combination priest, healer and professor of philosophy. The ceremonies he performs are one to 9 days long and very elaborate with many parts that must be performed exactly. They are sometimes called Medicine men. The word means chanter or singer or "ceremony performer"
A shaman is someone (originally described in Siberian traditional societies) who through trance and or drugs goes to the spirit world or takes the form of an animal.
For the Navajo, someone who travels in an animal form is a evil witch out to do great harm.
