Shamanistic practices are sometimes claimed to predate all organized religions, and certainly date back to the Neolithic period.
Forms of shamanistic ritual combined with Tibetan Buddhism became institutionalized as the state religion under the Chinese Yuan dynasty and Qing dynasty.
Many shamanistic cultures feel there is a danger that their voices will be drowned out by self-styled "shamans," citing, for example, the fact that Lynn Andrews has sold more books than all Native American authors put together.

They have also been held up as a classic case of Goffmanesque impression management.
Starting as shamanists, with a tendency to align with Tibetan Buddhism to the north, they were incorporated within the Nepalese state in the late 18th century.
As successful traders and tax collectors, they attempted to hide their Tibetan Buddhist past, adopted a prestigious Hindu genealogy as Thakuris, and tried to persuade their neighbors and the state that they were of higher status than similar groups within the Parbatiyas’ caste hierarchy; they were, in short, a classic Nepalese example of Sanskritization.

I should start by stating right now that I did not receive this letter in any way, shape, or form.
Likely if I had, I would have sent a somewhat less humorous response; it would have been something along the lines of "I'm writing a COMIC STRIP, not some sort of manifesto of what shamanists and Therians believe.
