Tipi

A Tipi, also known as a teepee, is a tent made out of animal skins and wooden poles made by the Native Americans who live in the great plains and frontier of America.

It was important that the tipi could be easily taken down, moved and rebuilt on a regular basis to reflect the nomadic lifestyle of following herds of migrating buffalo to hunt and survive. When the tribe arrived at a new location, the woman of each family would set up and build the tipi. Building the teepee was very efficient and typically only took around 30 minutes to set up.
