I really loved this fic for so many reasons.  The idea that there may be more than one way to effect a healing that involves more than accepted "western" methods is something that I really appreciated.  The use of the Native American beliefs and methods in combination with the more traditional treatments was handled quite well and gave a greater depth to the tale.  I would like to see this story amended to become a slash fic involving a Chris/Vin relationship in addition to the use of Chris' deceased family to add more poignancy to the choice Chris must make as he decides between life or death.  Please continue to offer more of the same type of fic in this genre.
