Losing hope of finding kids in plane crash, Indigenous searchers turned to a ritual: ayahuasca
Indigenous men who were among search teams hoping to find four children aboard a plane that crashed in the Amazon jungle say one of their most sacred rituals played a role in rescue efforts. While in the jungle, some of the men drank yagé. It’s a bitter tea made of native plants. It’s more widely known as ayahuasca and is hallucinogenic. They believed visions from the drink could help lead them to the children. Manuel Ranoque is father of the two younger children. He tried it first, but told the group it didn’t work, as he had no visions of the kids. Later, an elder drank the tea. He said he saw the kids in his dreams. That day, rescuers found all four children. Ranoque credits the ritual with helping in the rescue.
