Note 13 — APPENDIX 8: CHRISTIAN ELEMENTS IN THE PEYOTE CULT

The turmoil among the Caddo seems to grow out of the attempt to mix Christian with native motives and John Wilson is nowadays by no means universally revered. “There have been some Delawares living with the Caddo who have from time to time tried to introduce the Catholic faith in the Peyote meeting. Often they used the crucifix on the Peyote on the moon. All these attempts have met with opposition from most of the Delawares” (Petrullo, The Diabolic Root, 77).
