∙ 14y agoIt would depend on which Native American people you are referring but a logical answer would be the cactus. Some traditional Native Americans used Peyto. The word peyto came from the Aztec word peyotl. The buttons or roots of this small cactus plant were ritually consumed usually during religious services. The ritualized elements were the hallucination that the cactus caused after it was consumed. Check out my new book now available at my publisher's website:
