This summer hut is part of the Xatsull Heritage Village located on the bank of the Fraser near Soda Creek.
The sweat lodge ceremony is a healing tool used by many aboriginal peoples.
In addition to conferring the physical benefits of cleansing toxins through the skin, this sauna-like outdoor steam room is also used to confer spiritual benefits, purifying the mind and soul along with the body.
This is actually called a summer hut. A sweat lodge cant have any holes for the smoke to get out of.
