Note 47 — THE ETHNOLOGY OF PEYOTISM
Reading edition
The Tarahumari rasp is definitely associated with peyotism, indicating (Bennett and Zingg, The Tarahumara, 71) a Huichol provenience; but they list rasps for the Cora, Mayo, Pima (“rain sticks”), Hopi (in the kachina dance) and N. Paiute (to charm antelope into a corral). The rasp is not exclusively Uto-Aztecan however; it occurs for the Wichita, Hidatsa, Salinan, and archaeologically in Illinois. Tarahumari Brazil-wood rasps are brought from the hikuli-country.
