If one of their own is injured a group can heal the indavidual in a similar manner to the healing methods of the Nox.

History
Hundreds of years prior to the series the Spirit homeworld was visted by the Goa'uld who intended to mine the planet with Salish Indian slaves. After a time the Spirits "removed" the Goa'uld from their planet freeing the slaves. Not sure what to do with the humans but understanding they were victims in the incident they decided to allow the Salish to remain under their protection. In order to avoid tampering with the Salish any further than the Goauld they aliens addapted their forms to that of the Salish Indian Spirits. Therby allowing them to watch over the humans with any disturbance.
