Why is the Wixarika tribe of Mexico more open to sharing peyote with outsiders than the Native American Church? Musician Diego Perez Lombardini, the only 'mestizo' person to hold a position in one Wixarika religious organisation, gives insights from years supporting the community and undertaking a series of pilgrimages. He discusses the threats to the land upon which peyote grows, how the Wixarika people have preserved their unique way of life over centuries, and how peyote sits at the heart of their cosmology. Plus, his experiences with the medicine. Check out Diego's awesome EP entitled A R P A F U E G O, composed from his time with the Wixarika, alongside indigenous musicians. And here's Mattha's OpenDemocracy piece about peyote conservation.
