The Tipi is the nomadic housing par excellence. Its conical shape effectively leads the fire smoke out by a narrow opening at the top of the cone, a protected smoke outlet with two "ears". These ears allow the correct outlet of smoke even on days of heavy rain. This is adjustable.

 

Inside, a strip of canvas from 1.5 to 2 mts. insulates from the cold, humidity, insects and small animals, ensures a pleasant temperature and provides privacy. It cuts out the shadow effect created by the inner fire - outer cover.

 

The tipi forms a tilted cone. The short side of the cone is tilted back to provide protection against the wind and allow a greater right foot tipi in this area. More for practical reasons than spiritual tipis were mounted facing east as the winds on the plains come predominantly from the west. The fireplace is slightly off the center, closer to the door - creating additional space at the back of the tipi.
