The native American Tipi was originally a small tent used during the hunting season.
The indigenous people of Plains in the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies of North America usually made their tent out of animal skins. The tent was cone-shaped and made up of skins of animals which was hanged on the wooden poles. The Tipi was used by the people to receive warmth and comfort in winter, coolness in summers and it was durable too. It made the life of the nomadic people easier as it was an easy task to make a tipi for the purpose of getting shelter.
