Abstract

The sweat lodge is intertribal and indeed international; it is communal and spiritual and provides a place and a ceremony that is a useful step in healing. Most or all of the 500+ US tribes use the sweat lodge. It is our purpose to: 1) acquaint participants with the ancient practice; 2) review its physical, social, psychological, and spiritual benefits; and 3) identify its potential as part of comprehensive treatment for American Indian (AI) youth.
