The tipi (sometimes spelled "teepee") was the traveling home of the Kiowa, Comanche, Arapaho and other roaming plains Indian Tribes. Here at INDIAN CITY, the visitor sees a typical winter camp with two large tipis set up and a windbreak fence of willow branches and grass surrounding the camp. You will also see examples of the travois, the frame work used in transporting the teepee and its poles.
