[6] The Winnebago did not introduce the first Christian elements, as
Radin believed. A Taos Indian (Plains-influenced?) once visioned Christ
(Parsons, _Taos Pueblo_, 66).

[9] But there seemed to be a certain quality of propaganda for the
ethnographer’s benefit in one Kiowa doctoring meeting, when the name of
Jesus was mentioned in prayers with unwonted frequency.

[13] The turmoil among the Caddo seems to grow out of the attempt to mix
Christian with native motives and John Wilson is nowadays by no means
universally revered. “There have been some Delawares living with the
Caddo who have from time to time tried to introduce the Catholic faith
in the Peyote meeting. Often they used the crucifix on the Peyote on
the moon. All these attempts have met with opposition from most of the
Delawares” (Petrullo, _The Diabolic Root_, 77).
