The tipi (teepee) - the Sioux Indians' house
A tipi was made of tall wooden poles (Opëdha, CTONOH) covered with tough
buffalo hides (wkypbl). The buffalo hides were very tough; they lasted
through winter storms and hot summer days. A small family's tipi had only
one room. But for big families women could make a bigger tipi. At night
you could look up and see the stars through the two flaps (OTBEPCA) at
the top of the tipi. When it rained or snowed, the flaps were closed. In a
tipi it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When the Sioux
moved from place to place, they took their tipis along. When it was time
to move, women took their tipis apart. And when the tribe set up the camp
again, women put the tipis up. Women working together could put up a
tipi in a few minutes.
All the village travelled together. First the women took down all the tipis.
Then the men put everything together - tipis, poles, tipi covers, clothes,
tools, and dried food. Clothes were made of animal skins - mostly
deerskins. Horses pulled the load (rpy3). The chiefs rode in the front, with
the hunters. The women and the girls rode behind, carrying the house-
hold goods. Babies rode in cradles.
For every day, women and girls wore long dresses and leggings. Their
special clothes were decorated with elk teeth, bear claws, feathers, and
fur. Sioux men wore deerskin shirts and leggings. In warm weather and
when they were hunting or fighting, they wore only a strip of leather and
a pair of moccasins. In the winter, a buffalo robe kept the people warm.
