Abstract: This paper examines the unique relationship between shamans and the special psychoactive plants valued in their cultures. The use of Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) in Huichol Indian culture of Mexico, and coca (Erythroxyum coca var. coca) in the indigenous cultures of San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile and the Aymaras of the La Paz region of Bolivia are the focus of this discussion. This paper discusses the central roles the shamans and these plants play in traditional beliefs and practices as well as therapeutic aspects of these plants and the ways that they have come to symbolize Indian identity in a time of globalization.
