Note 7 — THE ETHNOLOGY OF PEYOTISM
Reading edition
Lindquist, The Red Man, 70-71, is in error in stating that the Zuñi use peyote for religious purposes; moreover the document of 1720 cited refers to Taos, not Zuñi. Mr. An-che Li assures me that the Zuñi lack peyote even today. Lindquist has evidently confused peyote with datura; see for example Safford, Narcotic Plants, 405, 406. Still other plants, e.g., datura, cohoba snuff, coca, yahé, aya-huasca, etc., were used in Middle America as prophetic aids; see for example Safford, op. cit., 393; Gayton, Narcotic Plant Datura.
