- What is a tepee , and what was used in its construction (tepee)

tepee is a traditional conical tent used by some Indigenous peoples of North America, particularly the Plains Indians. It is typically made of buffalo hide, canvas, or other materials stretched over a framework of wooden poles. The construction involves arranging the poles in a circular formation and covering them with the chosen material to create a durable and weather-resistant shelter. The shape and design of the tepee make it well-suited for mobility and efficient ventilation, allowing it to adapt to the nomadic lifestyle of the Plains Indians.
