Peyote, a small cactus native to Northern Mexico is at the center of their religious beliefs. Ceremonial ingestion of Peyote brings on visions of non-ordinary reality and connection to the natural world. These visions are the inspiration of their art. Their holy trinity is peyote, deer, and corn which are most often depicted in their art. The deer spirit come to them when they ingest peyote and leads them into the spiritual realms.
