Theirs was responsibility to gather, develop, maintain, and teach the knowledge of the Panther, and it's habitat, truth, ability to balance power, intention, physical strength, and grace, and identifying, gathering, growing, preparing and using herbs for food and medical purposes. Most of the old Herb Priests and mid-wives came from this group. This group also became known as the Panther Clan.
