- History Biographical
- Peyote is a native plant of Mexico, imported for use in ceremonial rites of the Native American Church. It contains the hallucinogen, miscaline, which afforded the Indians a way to seek visions. After 1850 when the Indian Culture began to disintegrate it provided an escape from the humiliation of defeat. Illustrated in the book "Plants and the Blackfoot" by Johnston, Alex
