A tipi (also teepee, tepee) is a conical tent originally made of skins or birch bark and popularized by the American Indians of the Great Plains. The dwelling was remarkably durable, and gave warmth and comfort to its inhabitants during harsh winters, was dry during heavy rains, and cool during the heat of summers. It was portable, which was an important factor since most Plains Indians were highly mobile, and could be broken down and packed away quickly when a tribe decided to move, and could be constructed just as quickly when a tribe settled an area. Tipis are stereotypically associated with Native Americans, even though Native Americans from places other than the Great Plains built different types of dwellings.

Oh my God! I want to scream at that too!!! My grandma is Ojibwe and people have this messed up thought that Native Americans still live in teepees. Honestly, what is that? They're not stuck back in the 1700s. I swear for being the Native inhabitants of the US, people surely don't know anything about them.

Most Native Americans who lived in teepees did so because they were a mobile people. Their food source were mainly buffalo which stay on the move. To survive you have to go where the food is so when the buffalo moved they had to strike tent and go with them.

They are Plains people and used to live in tipis when they were nomadic prior to getting stuck on reservations. Tipis were easy to move, and needed to be as they usually camped in different locations in different parts of the year.

When they first brought tea to the trading post, the chief liked it so much he sat up all night drinking cup after cup.
In the morning he was found dead in his teepee.
