Note 67 — THE ETHNOLOGY OF PEYOTISM

Lumholtz, Unknown Mexico, 2:172-73, 207, 263 ff. The Huichol had hikuli-shields; curiously, Crow-Neck (Kiowa) about 1860 made a peyote shield according to a vision he had at Mescalero, but he threw it away when he was captured on his first fight in Mexico. The Kiowa, however, had heraldic shield-societies before peyote, of which this is probably an aberrant example.
