In this July 17, 2012 photo, Ojibwe tribal member Fred Isham throws sage on a fire that's heating stones used in the sweat lodge behind him on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota. Sage is a sacred, purifying medicine for the Ojibwe. Isham, a participant in the Cass County - Leech Lake Tribal Wellness Court, uses the sweat lodge and other cultural ceremonies to help him stay sober. The wellness court program is the first of its kind in the country.(AP Photo/Minnesota Public Radio, Tom Robertson)
