What's New Site Map About CSP Search CSP: A Brief History of the Native American Church by Jay Fikes from One Nation Under God Veneration of the small spineless cactus called peyote probably began immediately after the first hunter-gatherers discovered its remarkable effects. The Native American deification of the plant is estimated to be about 10,000 years old. Peyote cactus buttons uncovered in Shumla Cave in southern Texas have been radiocarbon dated to 5,000 B.C. The Huichol Indians of northwestern Mexico still use peyote sacramentally. Their peyote pilgrimage may have been in place by 200 A.D. Scholars consider it the oldest sacramental use of peyote in North America. Huichols revere Peyote as the heart, soul, and memory of their Creator, Deer-Person. Huichol healers and singers achieve such union with their Creator, as incarnated in Peyote, that Peyote speaks through them, as here: If you come to know me intimately, you shall be like me and feel like I do. Although you may not see me, I shall always be your elder brother. I am called the flower of Deer-Person. Have no fear, for I shall always be the flower of God.(1) Deer-Person, the supreme teacher of the Huichol, teaches songs, reveals himself to shamanic healers through his Peyote spirit, and punishes those who violate his moral precepts. "It is because of the wisdom of Deer-Person," we are told, "that shamans exist. That is how we Huichols are able to diagnose diseases with our visionary ability and soul, which are the eyes of Deer-Person. That is our method of curing."(2)

Week of June 4, 2004 Cover Story Profile Headlines Native American Service October 17, 2003 Episode no. 707 Current Stories Cover Story: Nine Mile Canyon Dilemma Profile: Father Joe: Slum Priest Headlines: This Week in Religion News BOB ABERNETHY , anchor: Members of 12 Native American tribes assembled recently in Terre Haute, Indiana, in what was called a "Gathering of the People." Its purpose: to celebrate the connection of all the tribes, some from as far away as Montana, Oklahoma, and Kansas, and their connection to the earth and to God. The ceremony is described by Tim Tieyah, a member of the Comanche tribe. TIM TIEYAH (Comanche Tribe Member): There's no other people I know who has more profound respect of where we stand on this earth. Some of our songs relate to Mother Earth. We come from Mother Earth and it's a cinch we're going back to Mother Earth. So we pray and we sing and we dance and we sanctify this immediate area that we dance and sing on. The drum is a tool that we use that the Almighty gave us. He gave it to us when we were first made a people. When I sit at the drum, we start with a prayer and we end with a prayer. I ask for strength that these songs will come to me, the songs that God gave our forefathers, and that we can sing them in the right way, because you have to know them by your mind and your heart. There are no books for these songs. We feel everything has a spirit: you, I, these trees, these animals. Sometimes, when I'm perplexed and have so many problems, I pray and humble myself. And my grandfather comes to me and gives me a direction and strengthens me.

Please visit the Ableza Home Page by clicking the logo above! Streaming video presentations: "Truth and Lies" and "Honor and Pain" Appropriate Methods When Teaching About Native American Peoples: indicates link to related site Understand the term "Native American" includes all peoples indigenous to the Western Hemisphere. Present Native American Peoples as appropriate role models to children. Native American students should not be singled out and asked to describe their families' traditions or their peoples' culture(s). Avoid the assumption there are no Native American students in your class. Use books and materials which are written and illustrated by Native American people as primary source materials: speeches, songs, poems, and writings, which show the linguistic skill of a people who have come from an oral tradition. When teaching ABC's, avoid "I is for Indian" and "E is for Eskimo." Avoid rhymes or songs that use Native Americans as counting devices, i.e. "One little, two little, three little..." Research the traditions and histories, oral and written, of Native Americans before attempting to teach these.

by Ron Cherry E.R.E.C., ( bibliography P.O. Box 8003 Belle Glade, FL 33430 USA. Butterly Kachina Blackfoot Symbol Awatobi Symbol Hopi Buterfly Dance Because of the beauty, power of flight, and complete metamorphosis found in butterflies an moths, these insects frequently are found in Native American myths. In an early article, Grinnell ( ) called attention to the belief held by the Blackfeet that dreams are brought to us in sleep by a butterfly. Their sign for a butterfly was a design roughly in the shape of a maltese cross with one arm horizontal and the other verticle. This sign was painted on a lodge to indicate that the style and method of painting the lodge were taught to the lodge owner in a dream. It was also the custom for a Blackfoot woman to embroider the sign of a butterfly on a small peice of buckskin and tie this in her baby's hair when she wishes it to go to sleep. At the same time, she sings to the child a lulaby in which the butterfly is asked to come flying about and put the child to sleep. Grinnell did not learn why or how the butterfly bring sleep and dreams. However, he did note that the Blackfeet stated that the butterfly is soft and pretty and moves gently and that if you look at it for a long time you will go to sleep. The butterfly was also a prominent figure in the myth and ritual of the Hopi. This insect occurs frequently on prehistoric pottery, in a ritual "

Religion is not an Indian concept, it is a non Indian word, with implications of things that end badly, like wars in the name of individuals God's and so on. Indians do not ask what religion another Indian is, because they already know the answer. To an Indian, spirituality is about the Creator and it is personal.

Visionary Cactus Guide THE NATIVE AMERICAN CHURCH Peyote is considered to be divine by the Indians, a messenger that allows the faithful to communicate with God without the need of a priest. History from 1870's to present. Peyote use was more or less unknown North of the Rio Grande until around the Civil War. During the war, some white soldiers, and even some federal marshals had a chance to try this new "green whiskey". By the wars end, and into the 1870's, increased contact between American and Mexican Indians helped to spread the Peyote cult Northward. It was during this time period that the last of the free plains Indians were being herded on to reservations. Their population was decimated by starvation and disease, the great herds that they depended on for their very survival were just a sad memory. The few Indians that had survived to this point were hungry and impoverished, with absolutely no hope, no future. They were totally at the mercy of the white Christian oppressors, they were as unwanted slaves in their own lands. This was the time of the Ghost Dance, the only futile hope for a future that the Indian had known in many years. The ghost dance was a form of worship that spread like wild fire in the 1880's. Basically it was a belief that if one was pure, obeyed certain rituals, and prayed hard enough, that the souls of all of the ancestors would be reborn and would destroy the white enslaver. It was also thought that the dance would bring back the game and the buffalo, so the Indians would no longer go hungry. This obviously did not sit well with the paranoid whites, particularly those close to the reservations. This was the time of the horrible massacre at wounded knee.
