*** About Tipis: Tipis, often associated with the indigenous peoples of the North American Plains, are conical tents traditionally made of animal skins and wooden poles. Their design is ingeniously crafted to withstand the variable climates of the plains, from scorching summers to freezing winters. Historically, tipis were not just practical living quarters but also cultural symbols with decorations reflecting tribal identities and stories. The tipi’s portability suited the nomadic lifestyle of many tribes, facilitating the seasonal migrations followed for hunting and gathering.
