Known in Pennsylvania Dutch as Brauche or Braucherei, the folk-healing practice of powwowing was thought to draw the power of God to heal all manner of physical and spiritual ills. Based on seven years of fieldwork and interviews, David Kriebel’s study reveals the world, history, and culture of powwowing in southeastern and central Pennsylvania.
