Tiswin

Tiswin

Tiswin is a North American Indian alcoholic beverage brewed from corn.

Tiswin is the sacred saguaro beer/wine of the Papagos.

The saguaro, the largest cactus in the world, is in many respects the sacred tree of the Papago, and from its fruits they make a sacred fermentation called tiswin or sometimes nawai.

Trivia

An inability to obtain tiswin was one of the reasons Geronimo and others left their reservation and attempted to return to the land of their ancestors.Fact|date=February 2007
