This is first in a new series of interview with Gail about the cultural practices of the Huichol Indians of Mexico, who are known for their peyote rituals. Gail describes her first two trips to the Huichol country and how she was welcomed into this community. She explains what life is like at 10,000 feet in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, far from such modern conveniences as electricity and tap water. She discusses her participation in the peyote ritual. Of greatest interest, she shares several dreams that were part of these journeys and the importance of dreams for shamanism.
