Abstract
The knowledge of the properties of numerous psychotropic plants and their use ―in many cases millennial― by the Native American population in ritual contexts must be understood within a larger context that includes the domestication of many other plants, sophisticated environmental management techniques and an animist cosmology in which human beings share the natural world with other 'people' that can appear in different ways (transformation). Its use implies the acquisition of modified states of consciousness that affect the Native American cosmologies and epistemologies, as well as the iconographic and narrative manifestations of numerous cultures. Despite its persecution for religious reasons, the use of some of these plants has persisted to this day, being adopted in religious and therapeutic contexts sometimes added to processes of ecological awareness and the revaluation of philosophical-epistemological paradigms.
