Description
Sweat lodges or medicine lodges have gained certain notoriety due to an incident in Arizona where several people died in a non-Native American sweat lodge. The Lakota Nation has actually filed suit against the owners of
that lodge for desecrating their beliefs and violating peace between Americans and the Lakota nation for using a sweat lodge improperly. In Native American culture these lodges are used to promote health and community among their people. These lodges are tent type structures or dug out of the ground with planks for tops. They use heated rocks to provide heat within the structure. Sometimes the orientation of a lodge directs it toward a
specific spirit.
