***About Traditional Indigenous Tipis:

*** Traditional Indigenous tipis are conical tents mainly used by the Plains Indigenous peoples of North America. Made traditionally from buffalo hide and later from canvas, these dwellings are particularly suited to the lifestyle of the Plains peoples, facilitating mobility, comfort in both warm and cold weather, and resistance to strong winds. The structure of a tipi is designed to be quickly assembled and disassembled, which was essential for nomadic groups following bison herds. Historically, the tipi has been more than just a residence—it's a cultural symbol with spiritual significances, often painted with symbols and colors that tell the story of the family or the tribe.
