Fourty one years ago I lived in this teepee in Mendocino County. Only a few original poles exist and several new skins later it still exists in the original location. Typically it is setup for the spring and summer. The canvas skin was recently replaced after a bear tore holes in the prior handmade version. The lantern was on momentarily to gather the gear to prepare for a snow storm happened the following morning.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - I chased this severe thunderstorm on the Crow Indian Reservation. These tepees at the trading post in Crow Agency made for a nice foreground.
Tepees (also spelled Teepees or Tipis) are tent-like American Indian houses used by Plains tribes. A tepee is made of a cone-shaped wooden frame with a covering of buffalo hide. Like modern tents, tepees are carefully designed to set up and break down quickly. As a tribe moved from place to place, each family would bring their tipi poles and hide tent along with them. Originally, tepees were about 12 feet high, but once the Plains Indian tribes acquired horses, they began building them twice as high. Tepees are good houses for people who are always on the move. Plains Indians migrated frequently to follow the movements of the buffalo herds. An entire Plains Indian village could have their tepees packed up and ready to move within an hour. There were fewer trees on the Great Plains than in the Woodlands, so it was important for Plains tribes to carry their long poles with them whenever they traveled instead of trying to find new ones each time they moved.

(These beautiful reversible dresses were a gift from Fee. The girls love them. Ethel's dress, loaned by Holly was a gift from Bebopgirl. If you can see it Ethel has a tiny carved wood slingshot that was a gift from Kass's (kassandra's box) husband.)
While driving into Houston from I-59, I decided to take Business 59 and take a look at the old TeePee motel. Very cool looking!
Been fiddling with this image in ps most of the night - just killing time. I am under the weather and not very motivated for anything.
Made with canvas, twigs, cardboard and paint.
Used for storing stuff on your work desk - erasers, inkpads, tape measure, emergency cake...
World's Tallest Tepee
Teepee Official MarkBy far, Medicine Hat’s most visible landmark is the Saamis Tepee!
Originally constructed for the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, the Saamis Tepee is a tribute to Canada’s native heritage. After being moved to Medicine Hat, erection and assembly of the major structural elements of the Saamis Tepee began October 20th, 1991, and was completed in less than one week.
Built entirely of steel with a concrete foundation, the tepee is ringed with 10 large circular story-boards depicting aspects of native culture and history. The Saamis Tepee has a foundation weight of 800 metric tons, and the dead load of the structure is 200 metric tons. The main masts of the Tepee measure 215 feet (equivalent to a 20 story building!) and the diameter of the Tepee is 160 feet. There are 960 bolts holding the Tepee together.
Below the Saamis Tepee in scenic Seven Persons coulee, lays one of the Northern Plains archaeological sites - the Saamis Archaeological Site. This self-guided walking tour will show you one of the foremost important archaeological sites of the Northern Plains. The area was once a buffalo camp and meat processing site. Experts believe over 83 million artifacts are buried at the site.
The Saamis Tepee is located on the Trans-Canada Highway next to Tourism Medicine Hat.
This outcrop of sandstone formations is a short walk from the parking area for Cottonwood Cove, South Coyote Buttes. Because it is outside the lottery area, you can hike around without a permit. The Chess Queen or Totem Pole is the tall hoodoo at left.
The Teepees are an absolutely stunning formation along a stretch of road in the Painted Desert National Park in Arizona. For some odd reason the various shadings remind me of salt flats in the desert.
[teepee for my bunghole!]
