HousingHousing

They lived in tipis The tipis could be moved easily so

that they could follow the buffalo. It would sometimes take 16-18

buffalo hides sewn together to cover one tipi

The cover was held together by wooden pins

There would be a whole in the top to allow smoke to leave the tipi so that fires could be built inside.

There was a smoke flap that would control the temperature inside and keep rain and snow out.
