I have a question about the herb the American Indian’s used when they did there “Vision Quest’s” where they had to go out and seek a vision, I am trying to do research on it, and I am coming up dead ended, The only thing I know for sure that they used was a herb called “Peyote”, but have no idea what it looked like or if it is even still around and growing today, I assum it was a hulecinegent, that they found out in the dessert, or even wild mushrooms, but besides wild mushrooms, what else did they use, and can you find it growing still today, or is it extinct or banned by the government?

Willy Whitefeather was the visionary who inspired the award-winning animated short film “HOPE,” directed by Catherine Margerin, and produced by Mary Mathaisell. In “Vision Seed,” images of Whitefeather himself are overlaid against the backdrop of “HOPE,” the original short film, as the viewer is carried into the story with Whitefeather’s own voice as narrator.
