Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How could “tipis” have helped Native Americans secure food on the Great Plains? Tipis provided a stable, long-term shelter used to gather food on the Great Plains. Tipis provided a flexible shelter that allowed Native Americans to follow animals they hunted across the Great Plains.

Detailed explanation-2: -tepee, also spelled tipi, conical tent most common to the North American Plains Indians. Although a number of Native American groups used similar structures during the hunting season, only the Plains Indians adopted tepees as year-round dwellings, and then only from the 17th century onward.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tipis were used mainly by Plains Indians, such as the Lipan Apache, Comanche and Kiowa, after the Spanish introduced horses into North America about 500 years ago. Plains Indians groups moved across the Great Plains following migrating herds of buffalo that ranged from Canada to Texas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Teepees were the homes of the nomadic tribes of the Great Plains. A teepee was built using a number of long poles as the frame. The poles were tied together at the top and spread out at the bottom to make an upside down cone shape. Then the outside was wrapped with a large covering made of buffalo hide.
