Greenwood Publishing Group Inc. eBooks January 1, 2000 Phillip White 6 citations
Peyotism, the largest Native American-founded religion, uses peyote as a sacred plant in its ceremonies. Its use in religious rituals was established in pre-Columbian Mexico, spreading to Texas and the Southwest in the late 19th century and expanding after the Ghost Dance subsided. Today it persists among Native Americans in Northern Mexico, the United States, and Southern Canada. This bibliography compiles books, theses, dissertations, articles, government publications, audiovisual materials, and websites to guide research on Peyotism, covering its history, ceremonies, and significance.
