The word shaman is from Siberia. However I will use the word on the internet, because most will reconise it as a healer. The Navajo word for a Medicine Man is "hataalii". It means singer.
The Vision Quest is the most misunderstood concept seen online. Even the description listed above is not entirely accurate. The Lakota word for a Vision Quest is: Hanblecheya.
Even the all above post is not entirely true. Although it sounds authoritarian.
