***About Tipis:

*** The tipi, emblematic of the indigenous tribes of the Plains, stands as a testament to their ingenuity and adaptability. These conical tents made from animal skins upon wooden poles are more than merely practical dwellings; they are culturally significant structures designed to be easily assembled and disassembled to suit a nomadic lifestyle. Central to communal life, these structures offer insights into the social and ceremonial practices of indigenous peoples, reflecting their close ties to the environment.
