Doctor Exposes Tribe's Healing Claims

A Montana physician with deep cultural roots is sounding the alarm over what she calls grossly misleading claims by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe about the effectiveness of their traditional healing practices—especially around peyote use. Dr. Mary DesRosier, who’s worked to bridge medicine and Blackfeet culture, says patients are being misled into believing these methods are effective when they’re not, potentially delaying critical modern treatments. Her concerns escalated after a tribal member publicly accused the tribe of misrepresentation, drawing attention to her efforts to report the issue to federal and state health agencies. DesRosier’s mission: to ensure patients have accurate information so they can make informed healthcare decisions, especially when facing serious illness.
