Quanah Parker Reports Comanche Vision Feast Ties To State Formation
Quanah Parker says President Murray and constitutional delegates assured no prohibition on mescal bean use by Comanche Indians in the new state. The tribe’s ritual feast includes fasting, drinking coffee, and a night of visions guiding political strategy, with equal status for all at the deliberations. Beans are sourced from Mexico via Laredo, and the ceremony ends at daybreak with a purified, sober reflection.
