Tipi construction involves creating a conical tent traditionally used by the Native American tribes of the Great Plains. Made from wooden poles and animal hides or canvas, tipis are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, making them suitable for a nomadic lifestyle. The structure's shape allows for efficient heat retention and ventilation, adapting well to various weather conditions. The interior of a tipi is typically open, with a central fire pit for cooking and warmth. The design often includes a smoke hole at the top, allowing smoke to escape while providing light. Tipis continue to be used today for cultural events, camping, and as unique accommodations.
