The victim was told to chew the root and that the medicine would induce dreams of the thief. The rain priest would ask the victim to tell him everything he remembered in his dream so that he could identify the thief and recover the stolen property. | Stevenson, Matilda Coxe, 1915, Ethnobotany of the Zuni Indians, SI-BAE Annual Report #30, page 88 |
