– Native Americans used a variety of shelters (lodges), depending on their permanence and
available material for construction. They include wikiups, hogans, long houses and tipis. This
project will focus on the prevailing lodges of the plains Indians, who were migratory and
followed the availability of the buffalo. The tipis had to be quick to assemble, easy to break
down and transport and were frequently painted with designs showing the hunting success of
the occupants. The women owned the tipis, but the hunting was done by the men. Children will
get to color designs on their tipi and have it constructed with tipi poles symbolizing the
lodgepole pine support structure. They will be able to take their tipi home with them, but
parents are advised to hold the tipi until they return home and have a safe place to display it, so
that children don’t get poked with the “tipi poles.”
