About

The word "tipi" comes from the Lakota language and is made up of two elements: thi, which means "to dwell in" and pi, which means "they dwell."

Tipis were used by many Indigenous people of the Great Plains as the tipi is highly durable and mobile, easily broken down and packed away quickly when a tribe needed to move camp in pursuit of more fertile land, warmer climates and bison.

We have a limited number of kits.
