The Dream

Considered divine by the native americans, peyote was used as a messenger that allows the faithful to communicate with god without the need of a priest.  Along with the Ghost Dance, a desperate source of hope for the future of the Native American’s, a fundamental belief that if one was pure, obeyed certain rituals, and prayed hard enough, the souls of all the ancestors would be reborn and would destroy the white enslaver.
