... that native Caribbeans channeled the powers of the god Baidrama by bathing in bitter cassava juice?

Source: Alexander, Hartley Burr (1964). Latin-American Mythology. New York, Cooper Square Publishers. p. 22. Baidrama, or Vaybrama, was also seemingly a twinned divinity, and clearly was the strength-giver ... the worshippers of the god bathed themselves in the sap of the yucca when they desired strength or healing

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Spot-checked citations 1 to 4; no issues arose. I suggest rewording the hook a bit to "... that the indigenous Taíno of the Caribbean channeled the powers of the god Baidrama by bathing in cassava juice?" because the juice being bitter is not relevant to the hook's point and "native Caribbeans" seems too vague.
