Tipi
A tipi (also teepee, tepee) is a conical tent originally made of skins and popularised by the American Indians of the Great Plains. Today, they are usually covered in canvas and lived in by American Indian families attending Pow Wows or Encampments, teaching further generations of traditions. They are also used by historical reenactors and "back to earth" people, and in some places they are used for tourist lodgings.
