The Native American Church is a religious movement that combines elements of traditional Native American spirituality with Christian beliefs. It primarily focuses on the use of the peyote cactus, which is considered a sacred plant. Members believe that peyote helps them connect with the divine and promotes healing, guidance, and community bonding. Founded in the early 20th century, the Native American Church has spread across various tribes in the United States and Canada. It emphasizes respect for nature, communal worship, and the importance of cultural identity. The church also advocates for the legal use of peyote in religious ceremonies, highlighting its significance in Native American traditions.
