There are many out there who go to authentic sweatlodge ceremonies coming out thinking that they can also make one happen. Having a sweatlodge is a huge responsiblity towards the community and their well being. There is so much involved that I cannot reveal, only that if it is not done in respect for all the Spirits things happen. Once again I see how Native American spiritual traditions are being abused. I am sorry to hear that so many people have been hurt for a lifetime and more for the irresponsibility of one greedy man.
