Sweat Lodge

Sweat lodges are an important part of a healing journey for Indigenous people as it is a way to purify oneself, once inside a sweat lodge it is believed that you are in the centre of the four directions. Sweat lodges are very much an integral part of ceremonial life for many First Nations people and it is important to note that even among different territories there are variations in sweat lodge practices (Anishnawbe Health Toronto, 2017).
