Is
it Tipi, Teepee or Tepee?
You can spell it the way you want but Tipi is the
true Sioux word, Teepee is only its English
assimilation.
Our most popular tipi is the
traditional Sioux style. It is the most widely used during
Powwows and Rendezvous all accross the Great Plains. It is
also the most prefered by Metis in Manitoba. Besides the
Sioux style, we also manufacture Cheyenne, Blackfoot and Crow
tipis. Wigwams or
Goôoms can be made on special order
Our tipis as strong, stress areas are
reinforced, main seams are double-sewn, edges are
hemmed to keep from fraying. Door openings and smoke flaps
are selvedge for even more resistance. Lacing pin holes are
reinforced and stitched by hand.
Stake loops are a standard feature. |
