*** About Native American Teepees: Native American teepees were primarily used by the Plains cultures and were ingeniously designed for the nomadic lifestyle. Made from wooden poles and covered with animal skins or, in more modern times, canvas, these structures were easily dismantled and transported as tribes moved across vast landscapes in search of game and trade. The interior of a teepee was organized to maximize space for living and storage, often including a central hearth for warmth and cooking. Their conical shape was ideal for both shedding rainwater efficiently and sustaining strong prairie winds. Symbolically, teepees also represented the universe as observed by several Native American cultures, structured to align with the earth, sky, and other natural elements.
