*** About Tepees: Tepees, also spelled tipis, are cone-shaped tents traditionally made of animal skins upon wooden poles. Originating with the nomadic tribes of the Great Plains in North America, tepees are particularly designed to be easily broken down and transported, aligning with the transient lifestyle of these communities. Historically, the structure of these dwellings provided excellent durability and insulation during harsh weather. The tepee’s design, with a central fire and an opening at the top for smoke ventilation, signifies not only practical living quarters but also a center for family and community gatherings, embodying a rich cultural symbol of Native American heritage.
