Sweat lodges will continue at the veterans hospital in Salt Lake City.
Last month, there was a dispute about how frequently the traditional American Indian ceremonies would be allowed at the facility and who would lead them after a sweat lodge leader abruptly left his VA post.
On Tuesday at 12:15 p.m. at sltrib.com, veteran Cory Navarro and Tribune justice reporter Nate Carlisle join Jennifer Napier-Pearce to talk about the controversy and why many veterans participate in the sweat lodge ritual.
