Inipi Ceremony (Sweat)
1:00 pm
2602 J Street, Omaha, NE 68107
Traditional sweat attire. Women wear shirts that cover the shoulders, and a long skirt to the ankles. Men wear shorts.
An Inipi ceremony is a way for Natives to heal and pray for others. Guests will join us in the inipi, where we gather in the dark to sweat, pray, and heal. Grandfather stones are taken from the fire and put into the pit within the inipi. Once the stones are in, and the door is shut, the ceremony begins with prayers and singing. If you plan to join, please remember to bring a towel and a water bottle.
