<p><em>There is the Tipi for changing. Women are to wear long dresses that cover their bodies. There is a bin of skirts and blouses in a trailer for loan. Women are not allowed in ceremony during the sacredness of their moons. Everyone finds a way to assist. There is sorting volcanic stones, placed in the heart of a bon fire, setting of an alter to house the sacred pipe, carrying cotton and wool blankets from the trailer to cover in layers the willow base which is shaped like a bowl, covered in layers until light proof. This upside down bowl is the rib cage of the earth, the womb, a dark hollow, a shallow pit centered to hold 28 grandfather lava stones, 7 per cycle or ‘door’, each stone heating in a bon fire, fed by those who attend. ‘Aho!’</em></p>
