They also served as healers, doctors,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=xKwZAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;focus=searchwithinvolume&amp;amp;q=maiba+priest+doctor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; magicians,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=yi_XAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;focus=searchwithinvolume&amp;amp;q=maiba+priest+doctor+magician&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; medicine men,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=utWBAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;focus=searchwithinvolume&amp;amp;q=maiba+priest+medicineman&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[physician]]s and [[shaman]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=6SzC4XbtPKkC&amp;amp;pg=PT75&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=2ahUKEwjBqovV0YDxAhXCX3wKHRpbChUQ6AEwAHoECAsQAw#v=snippet&amp;amp;q=maiba%20priest%20Meitei%20tradition%20seers%20shamans&amp;amp;f=false&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=9SLkAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;focus=searchwithinvolume&amp;amp;q=maiba+priest+magician&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They play important roles in the [[Apokpa|ancestor worship (apokpa khurumjaba) ceremony]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=NHQMAQAAMAAJ&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;focus=searchwithinvolume&amp;amp;q=maiba+priest+apokpa+khurumjaba&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Chief priest or chief among the maibas is called Maichou, a term formed with the amalgamation of two words (&amp;quot;maiba&amp;quot;- priest, &amp;quot;achouba&amp;quot;- big, chief, great).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=S4E_AAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;focus=searchwithinvolume&amp;amp;q=maiba+priest+maichou+chief&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Since their position is not hereditary, they acquire their positions through talent and skills.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://books.google.co.in/books?id=yi_XAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;dq=maiba+priest&amp;amp;focus=searchwithinvolume&amp;amp;q=maiba+priest+position+talent&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The female counterpart of a Maiba is a [[Maibi]].&lt;br /&gt;
