Our goal is to stay in all the rooms.Our saying is "If the Tee Pee is rocking, Don't come a knockin' ."G & B*********************************************************** The Start of the Tipi TIPI originates from the Lakota language: TI - meaning 'to dwell or live'; PI - meaning, 'used for'. TIPI means ‘used to live in’. The first nomadic peoples were drawn out onto the plains by the plentiful supply of big game animals. The constant movement and migration of the great herds of bison shaped their lifestyle. They needed a sturdy dwelling that could stand up against the severe prairie winds and yet could be dismantled at a moment's notice to follow the drifting herds. The tipi was a very good shelter for the Plains Indians. It was easy to set up and take down. It was warm in winter, cool in summer and waterproof.The picture below is a copy of the original/official "Post Card" for the Tee Pee Courts back in the 40's:
