"The shaking often has healing powers" changed to "The shaking is reported to have healing powers" as to not make a statement of judgement on the topic, as the information to make one is not available.

[edit] Searching

Because there is another more famous religion of the same name, this can be a tough one to conduct web searches for. I found some materials by starting with the search "Shaker + Salish". -- Jmabel | Talk 19:26, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Opposition

Wasn't there also some opposition to the Indian Shakers from other non-Shakers in the community? I know that the Klallam have both Shakers and non-Shakers and public prayer is shared between religious groups, and that the Shakers are now accepted as part of the heritage and tradition, but that that wasn't always the case. Anyone know the details? Danielsilliman 16:21, 20 February 2006 (UTC) 16:17, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
