'The Native American Church" (NAC), also known as: "Peyotism" and the "Peyote Religion", is a Native American religion that teaches a combination of traditional Indigenous beliefs and Christianity, with 'sacramental use' of the entheogen, peyote. The religion originated in the Oklahoma Territory, in the late nineteenth century (1890-1907), after peyote was introduced to the southern Great Plains, from Mexico.Today, it is the most widespread Indigenous religion among Native Americans in the United States (except, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians).., in Canada, (specifically, First Nations people in Saskatchewan and Alberta).. and in Mexico, with an estimated 250,000 adherents, as of the late twentieth century.
