“I tell them that we’re all equal in the circle, and if one is weak, to try to give her strength and try to help each other. I always want to make the point with the women who come around that I am no better than they are. And that they aren’t any better than I, even though they might drive a fancy car. They might be better off than I am, but in the traditional sense we’re all the same. In the sweats we pray for the men to understand us better, too. When they enter the lodge on all fours, I tell them it should remind them to be humble, that we are no better than our
four-legged relatives. When we huddle close together, our bodies touching, the darkness uniting us, I remind them that in the dark we cannot see our faces, or the color of our skins, that in the sweat lodge we are all the same and we cannot see whether we are Indian, white, or black. I tell them that our little lodge has become our universe, our galaxy. I remind them to turn inward into the vastness of their own minds. I sing to Kate Wiohpeyata, to the Spirit of the West. I sing so that the supernaturals will come in and take part in our purification and bless us.”
