Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
The Native American Church is the most rapidly growing religious movement on Western Indian reservations. Because the consumption of peyote, a hallucinogenic cactus, is central, the religion has been controversial since its start as an organized faith in the 1800s. Stewart chronicles the church's history from its early roots in Mexico through official recognition in the 20th century. He discusses the church's leaders, its role in Indian unification, and its importance as a response to the pressures of white America. This work complements the scientific discussion by Edward F. Anderson in Peyote ( LJ 3/15/80). Recommended for academic libraries. Mary B. Davis, Museum of the American Indian Lib., New York

A.K. Elkins on this book...
"The use of peyote in some Native American religious ceremonies is one of the most controversial issues in America today. It plagues lawmakers, clogs the justice system, gets innocent people treated like criminals, sends almost every preacher into a tangent on evil and idolatry.... Yet, for most of America, this is an unknown substance that we know zilch about. Peyote Religion is the answer for this ignorance of the subject. The hefty, 454-page manuscript covers every aspect of the peyote religion, old and new."
Omer Stewart "covers all topics relating to the plant, from eyewitness accounts of peyote ceremonies to the laws pertaining to possession of it. His writing is lively and entertaining. His facts are well noted and easily referenced."
"Appendix A lists elements of the peyote ritual and provides a table showing which tribes utilize the element. Appendix B has a sample program from a NAC ceremony. Appendix C has the church canons for the NAC of South Dakota in 1948."
Stewart has managed to combine anecdotes, archeological research, anthropology, religion, a variety of journal and diary entries, quotations and his own research into a manuscript that flows smoothly and engages the reader's interest. This is the text on peyotism."
Author Omer Stewart on his life and research...
"While still a graduate student in anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley in January 1938, I was invited to be a participant-observer in an all-night peyote meeting, held near Towaoc on the Ute Mountain Ute reservation in southwestern Colorado. This was my third experience with the Ute peyote religion in a few months, experiences that were to have a profound effect on the course of my career."
"Over the years I have recorded the similarities in the ceremonies and rituals of the peyote religion in more than twenty-seven tribes from Oklahoma to Canada and from Wisconsin to California. Especially have I fought to protect the religious freedom of those who practice the peyote religion as formalized in the Native American Church."
