The Inipi is a rite on our pipe and is used for purification ceremonies. It is made from willow branches using sacred mathematics in its design to heal and awaken our prayers while helping us pull down the sacred powers of the universe. In the building of the sweat lodge, there are four sacred circles built upward inside the Inipi, each representing time, space, dimension and matter. In the presence of our heartfelt prayers, this provides an energy field to link beyond linear time, dimension and space.

The Inipi is covered with blankets. We sit in silent prayer as the hot stones enter via a fire chief or chieftress and many times we see images on the heated stones. Some may speak to us about why we are here. When the doorway is covered, we sit in darkness, sending our prayers on the rising steam coming from the heated stones. There are four rounds in a sweat ceremony. When each round is completed the door is opened to let go of our ignorance and lovingly embrace our new thoughts. Take a close look at the gatekeeper on the door while we are having our sweat.

The four by seven, Vision Quest Pit is now ready for our new vision quester. They will remain here for the next four days and nights in deep prayer without food and water. You will notice there are four hundred and five tobacco ties around the pit with directional flags representing the sacredness and knowledge of these four colors.

An old Blackfoot Indian story. The pattern of the tipi came from folding a cottonwood leaf. The tipiís circular form represents the sacred circle of life. At one time these sacred poles were covered with Buffalo robes. In building an average tipi it is like rebuilding and connecting the above worlds to the below world. The first three poles come together as a triangle which symbolizes a star.
