Brothers and Sisters in the Medicine.

This letter brings greetings and best wishes to you from the Rio Grande Native American Church.

This introductory letter was crafted after many hours of prayers and contemplation. It is our hope that it will be received

 in a good way by you.

We are state recognized as the descendents of the aboriginal people who lived on our sacred land in present day South Texas

 and Northeastern Mexico. Our Tlaxcalteco, Huasteco, Huichol and Carrizo Coahuiltecan ancestors have been Medicine practitioners

since time immemorial.

Now their spirits are urging our leaders to protect our sacred medicine Kop (peyote).

They are reaching out to us thru our dreams and prayers, asking us to preserve our sacred medicine lands so that

our future generations may continue our Medicine way.

That is why, we wish to inform you that we plan to utilize our Church, a 501© (3) IRS designated Religious Public Charity,

to contact those entities that might impact our Spiritual life or death struggle in a positive manner.

Our long term plan is to acquire some of our sacred land and to collaborate with institutions that can provide our church

with method’s to propagate the medicine on that land.

We  ask for your prayers and blessings on this crucial undertaking.

En Dios.

Sincerely

Ted Herrera
