The second is of a "steam bath" (I think that's what they call them) and the wood/fuel pile next to it. Many Natives use these regularly. It's a really hot steam room that purifies and cleanses the pores. Kinda like a sauna, but much, much hotter. A local friend described her one experience as being hotter than the hottest hot spring. Wood is expensive and scarce, so people use shipping crates for a lot of their wood needs.
