"The Peyote Road" addresses the United States Supreme Court 'Smith decision', which denied protection of 1st Amendment religious liberty to the sacramental use of peyote for Indigenous people, one of the oldest tribal religions in the Western Hemisphere. Examining the European tradition of religious intolerance and documenting the centuries old sacramental use of the cactus peyote, the film explains how the 'Smith decision' put religious freedom in jeopardy for all Americans. "The Peyote Road" is part of the First Peoples' TV series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.
