Detailed explanation-1: -The Lakota people utilized “tipis” which could be easily set up and taken down. Tipis were shelters make of animal hides stretched over tent poles in a cone shape. Tipis are homes used around the villages. The made them outs of branches and leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tipis were important to the Indigenous peoples of the Plains because they travelled often-to hunt, join social gatherings (such as Sun Dances) or find winter shelter-and therefore needed homes that could be taken down easily and just as easily resurrected.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Lakota people lived in large buffalo-hide tents called tipis (or teepees). Tipis were carefully designed to set up and break down quickly.
Detailed explanation-4: -As Native Americans on the Plains became more focused on hunting, they became more nomadic. They constructed teepees-conical tents made out of buffalo skin and wood-shelters that were easy to put up and take down if a band was following a buffalo herd for hunting.
Detailed explanation-5: -Tipis were made out of buffalo hide (usually between 8-15 hides) sewn together. A frame of three or four poles would start the process of building up the tipi. Most finished tipis would have between 15-25 poles before it was covered with the hide. You could fit (depending on the size) 8-40 people in a tipi.
