A Culture's Catalyst - Fannie Kahan - Bog

In 1956 psychedelic researchers Abram Hoffer and Humphry Osmond were invited to join members of the Red Pheasant First Nation to participate in a peyote ceremony. Inspired by their experience, they wrote a series of essays defending the consumption of peyote and the practice of peyotism. Although the text shows its mid-century origins, it advocates for Indigenous legal, political and religious rights and offers insights into how researchers interpreted the peyote ceremony.
