Overview
Do you know where the word Tipi comes from?
Listen to a storyteller share teachings about the Tipis (also known as a tepee). Traditionally made of animal skins and wooden poles, tipis are intended to protect the families within through the spirit of the trees and buffalo around them. The flap at the top is left open for smoke to escape and, according to teachings, connect the people inside with the Sky World. Participants will be directed to Market Tent E to make their own tipi to take home!
