Synopses & Reviews
Book News Annotation:
In the 1950s, d'Azevedo (anthropology, U. of Nevada, Reno, emeritus)
recorded first-person narratives from Washoe tribe members, who were
followers of the Native American Church and whose sacrament was the
peyote cactus. Although the narratives have been edited and
synthesized by d'Azevedo, they offer a glimpse into the insiders'
understanding of the peyote ritual before it was popularized. The
volume was first printed in 1978 in a letterpress edition. Heyday
Books published the first trade paper edition in 1985.
