LAKOTA SWEAT LODGE:  The I-ni-pi Ceremony, (Sweat Lodge), is a Lakota purification ceremony, and one of the Seven Sacred Rites of the Lakota people.  It is an ancient and sacred ceremony, which has been passed down through the generations of Lakota.

The full ceremony is not taught to non-Lakota, but in rough detail, it involves an Inipi lodge - a frame of saplings covered with hides or blankets.  Stones are heated in a fire, and then placed into a central pit in the lodge.  Water is then poured on the stones to create hot steam.  Traditional prayers and songs are offered in the Lakota language.
