Native American Sweat Lodge

California: c. 1930 Most villages had one or more sweat houses where the men gathered every day for the traditional custom of sweating. The earth covered house was built close to the river so the men could plunge into the water after sweating. A fire was built in the sweat house to make it hot, and the men scraped their bodies with a split deer rib to stimulate sweating. When they could endure the heat no longer, they ran from the sweat house and plunged into the nearby river.
