The most important thing to remember about the Sweatlodge is that it is a way for humans to give back to the Creation some of the energy that they are always receiving.
The Earth Mother constantly gives us two-leggeds a surface on which to place our two feet; Father Sun warms us, and Grandmother Moon brings dreams. The element of Earth gives us a place to grow food and the ability to make homes and tools. The water keeps us alive. The fire warms our homes and cooks our food. The air gives us the sacred breath of life. Through ceremony, we learn how to give back.- Sun Bear, Anishinaabe Nation
