Chicano
The terms Chicano and Chicana (also spelled Xicana) were originally used by Americans in reference to U.S. citizens of Mexican descent. The term began to be widely used during the Chicano Movement, mainly among Mexican Americans, especially in the movement's peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The self-identification Chicano is still in popular usage today by some Mexican-American youth.

Description
They are often respected members of the community, being highly religious and spiritual. Literally translated as "healer" from Spanish. Their powers are considered supernatural, as it is commonly believed that many illnesses are caused by lost malevolent spirits, a lesson from God, or curse.There are different types of curanderos. “Yerberos” are primarily herbalists. “Hueseros and Sobaderos” are bone/muscle therapists who emphasize physical ailments. "Parteras" are midwives.
The Moche people of ancient Peru often depicted curanderos in their art.
In the Andes, one of the instruments of the curandero is the chonta, a kind of magic wand carved from the chonta palm (Guilielma gasipae). The palm grows only in the Amazon basin, and is the object of a brisk commerce. The amazonic Jibaros use the very hard wood of the chonta to carve their spears and magic dards, the dreaded "tiazak". The shaman is also known as "chonteador", and his most important wand is the "chonta defensa"; if he dies without disciples, the chonta is thrown, wrapped in rubands and weighted with stones, to the bottom of an andine lake; its power will reemerge when a new shaman will take office. The shamans also use wands of hualtaco, Loxopterigion huasango.
Curanderos in fiction
Curanderos, probably because of the mystery and intrigue that surrounds them, are frequently included in fictional works:
