To my knowledge. the tribal shaman was often chosen by the spirits themselves and would be plagued with dreams and visions until they accepted the role. They would then be initiated by the current shaman and begin their training,

Only the Shaman made offerings to Spirits?

[DarkestKnight]

Yes, unless there was some personal offense that needed to be apologized for. In such a case, the shaman would then advise whoever caused the offense to make the offering. Remember, shamans of the indigenous peoples were community healers and advisors. They offered counsel to anyone who sought their help and would act as an intermediary between the people and the spirits.
