On account of the great distances a canonical visitation of the churches of Siberia by a Catholic bishop was not possible until in 1909, when Bishop Johannes Cieplak, coadjutor of Mohileff, traversed all Siberia and Saghalian.

 Evolution of Shamanism Paper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Now they thought of the shamans as simply imposters or jugglers, who claimed to communicate with spirits but were really just fooling the people by using "song and dance, tricks, and slight of hand" or tapping the power of the imagination to make people believe (Narby and Huxley, 2001, 21 - 22).
Typical of these rational visitors was Johann Georg Gmelin, a German professor of chemistry and botany, who explored Siberia for 10 years and published a four-volume book about his travels, which described his observations of shamans.
But Gmelin remained unconvinced that the shaman was really in touch with any spirits or had any wisdom, concluding he was just using conjuring tricks and that it was all humbug (Narby and Huxley, 2001, 28).
