 | | In response to this situation, the Native American Church was organised with the purpose of defending the beliefs and practices of peyotists. | | | Although describing itself as a church, the Native American Church refuses to accept the doctrines or canons of any one Christian sect. | | | The Supreme Court's ruling is perceived by many Native Americans as a denial of their religious freedom and, therefore, a violation of the First Amendment. |

| | The Native American Church: Recollections of the Peyote Road |
| | Members of the Native American Church do not proselytize, nor do they criticize other churches or beliefs; they prefer to live unnoticed. | | | The nationalism of the church is partly attributable to its pan-Indian organization; it also reflects the fact that the government recognizes the Peyote religion and allows the Indians to practice it freely. | | | Peyote is considered a holy medicine among members of the church; and it is used with the utmost respect. |

| | The church is one important place where Christianity and indigenous beliefs intersect, although some Native American Church chapters avoid Christian references and rely entirely on traditional tribal ways. | | | Intense antagonism to the peyote religion, and to Indian religions in general, forced members of the Native American Church to organize formally to protect themselves. | | | With roots in ancient tribal traditions, the Native American Church has evolved into a twentieth-century religion. |

| | Drury University: On the Native American Church and the Ritual Use of Peyote |
| | In 1918 the Native American Church was organized by adherents of the Peyote Religion who sought to protect their religious practices from attack by the anti-peyotist adversaries of the US Federal Government, the Catholic Church, and tribal oppositionist groups such as the Navajo Tribal Council. | | | The establishment of the Native American Church in Oklahoma was followed by the organization of peyote churches in other states. | | | Albaugh concludes that the success of the Native American Church ceremonies in combating alcoholism is due to the therapeutic nature of the ceremony itself, and that the ingestion of peyote only increases suggestibility, which allows anti-alcoholic messages to have greater affect in the lives of the members. |

| | ICT [2005/09/22] Native American Church deserves its sacrament |
| | There is diversity in the similarity of vision and in any given language and with whatever emphasis of Indian belief involved, the Native American Church of North America deserves acknowledgement and respect as an authentic religion of Indian peoples of North America. | | | As with all churches that grow within the context of other traditions, the Native American Church has had its share of controversies. | | | These days, the Native American Church is in danger of being hurt by the constant number of cases in criminal drug situations where people claim American Indian status to use or transact peyote- which is a controlled substance, according to federal law. |
