Fascinating summary at Wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huichol
However, the Huichol have the narcotic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcotic> peyote in their systems
virtually around the clock, beginning with their mother's milk, and it
acts as a powerful reinforcer of their faith. Even in the city, a
Huichol is able to cross the membrane to the sacred and remain above his
or her surroundings. They have proved to be extraordinarily adaptable
and are blessed with shamans of great power and determination to follow
the ancestral ways.
