For centuries, a persistent and important component of Lakota religious life has been the Inipi, the ritual of the sweat lodge. The sweat lodge has changed little in appearance since its first recorded description in the late seventeenth century. The ritual itself consists of songs, prayers, and other actions conducted in a tightly enclosed, dark, and extremely hot environment. Participants who "sweat" together experience moral strengthening, physical healing, and the renewal of social and cultural bonds. Today, the sweat lodge ritual continues to be a vital part of Lakota religion. It has also been open to use, often controversial, by non-Indians. The ritual has recently become popular among Lakotas recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. This study is the first in-depth look at the history and significance of the Lakota sweat lodge. Bringing together data culled from historical sources and fieldwork on Pine Ridge Reservation, Raymond A. Bucko provides a detailed discussion of continuity and changes in the "sweat" ritual over time. He offers convincing explanations for the longevity of the ceremony and its continuing popularity.Binding Type: Paperback

Feels great after cheap work soap hand washes
Size: 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is great. I reapply ALL the time because I have it at work.I wash my hands frequently and the soap at the work is very harsh, cheap, and generally just terrible on the skin.I use this after every wash and it leaves my hands and arms soft and moisturized. I have also received compliments on how nice my office smells after I apply it. While that might make it sound as if the scent is very strong, it isn't. It's nice, and lingers for a bit, but it is not overpowering or overwhelming. The tub goes a long way, and the container at my desk has lasted for months, and a little goes a long way. I appreciate that the container seals well and doesn't leak. Sometimes when I take other lotions on the go with me, I worry that the little flap top will open up and make a mess. That is not a problem with this jar AT ALL. It is easy to close and stays closed, even when I throw it in my bag and then throw my bag around a bit in transport.

Wonderful for my super dry skin
Size: 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This moisturizer is great, I have no complaints. I have VERY dry skin and live in Chicago - where winters only make matters worse. This product has actually healed my dry, cracked skin and improved it's overall condition. It absorbs quickly and the scent is mild. I apply it after exfoliating in the shower at night and when I wake up, my skin is soft and looks healthy.
