  Tipi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tipis are also used by historical reenactors and "back to the land" people, and in some places they are used for tourist lodgings.
Tipis are distinguished from other tents by two crucial innovations: the opening at the top and the smoke flaps, which allow the dweller to cook and heat themselves with an open fire, and the lining, which supplies a steady, controlled flow of fresh air to fire and dwellers in almost any weather.
Tipi covers are made by sewing together strips of canvas or hide and cutting out a semicircular shape from the resulting surface.

 Frequently Asked Tipi Questions (FAQ)
When we first started building tipis, we used to sell instruction kits - none of the do-it-yourself tipis were completed to our customers satisfaction and we were often asked to complete the job after the materials had been incorrectly cut or sewn.
The tipi would need to be very small and the liner would need to be low to keep the sweating area small - and this defeats the function of the Tipi in its normal usage.

 Documenting tipi rings with high school students in Montana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Some research suggests that the tipi was not as ubiquitous with Native Americans until the introduction of the horse, which provided a stronger means of transportation and human contact (Wilson 1978).
From measurements made of tipi rings (the rocks used to hold down the bottom edge of the tent) left on the ground in gathering places, and by observations reported in early accounts, tipis were much smaller in size prior the arrival of the horse.
