The History and Significance of Teepees

A teepee is a tent made of canvas or other materials, traditionally used by Native American tribes. It is shaped like a cone, with a peaked roof and a central pole that supports the structure. Teepees were originally made from animal hides and wooden poles, but modern versions are often made from more durable materials like canvas and metal. They were used as temporary dwellings during hunting and gathering trips, as well as for ceremonial purposes. The word "teepee" is derived from the Ojibwe word "tiipi," which means "dwelling."
