Religion
The Mohave creator is Matavilya, who gave Mojave people their clans. His little brother is Mastamho, who gave them the Colorado River and taught them how to plant. Historically, Mojave were agrarian; they planted in the fertile floodplain of the untamed river, following the age-old customs of the Aha cave. They have traditionally used the indigenous plant Datura as a deliriant hallucinogen in a religious sacrament. A Mohave who is coming of age must consume the plant in a rite of passage, in order to enter a new state of consciousness.
