In a traditional sweat lodge, offerings, including tobacco, are made at the altar before participants enter the lodge. Michael Hackwith, Lakota Sundance spiritual leader, shows a pouch with red willow bark and pure tobacco that is typically used in the “Chanupa,” a sacred pipe. (U.S. Air Force photo/Monica Mendoza)
