USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Lakota people used buffalo hides and wooden lodge poles to construct their homes, known as tipis. These homes are cone-shaped rounded structures tapered to an open smoke hole at the top. Approximately 12-16 feet in diameter, they were large enough to house a family.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Lakota were located in and around present-day Minnesota when Europeans began to explore and settle the land in the 1600s. Living on small game, deer, and wild rice, they were surrounded by large rival tribes. Conflict with their enemy, the Ojibwa eventually forced the Lakota to move west.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Lakota, like many other tribes of the Great Plains, lived in teepees. Generally, teepees were circular tents that could fit 4 to 6 people. Some teepees were much larger and could fit over 10 people. They were typically made of buffalo skin or the skin of other large game that could be hunted on the Great Plains.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
