- Description:
- The document is regarding H.R. 2403 which aims to prohibit the use of peyote in Indian religious ceremonies. Mr. Thompson and Chief Victor Griffin are requesting a hearing before the Committee on Indian Affairs to protest against the bill. They argue that peyote is not harmful and is an important part of their religious practices. Mr. Thompson suggests that if the bill passes, there should be exceptions for Indians to use peyote for religious purposes without taxation or prohibition. Chief Victor Griffin and Mr. Thompson are seeking support from Congressman George B. Schwabe to allow them to be heard before the bill is reported out favorably.
