Much like the barn raisings of the pioneers, among the plains Indians sewing a teepee was a community event. A Lakota woman would gather her friends together for a time of food, fellowship, and sewing.

This tepee is expertly handcrafted out of suede fabric and wooden dowels to resemble a historically authentic Lakota teepee.

Teepee Cover: The suede fabric is intended to resemble the buffalo hide which the Lakota would have used for their teepees. The effect is authentic enough that some customers have asked where the hide was purchased.

Smoke Flaps: The top of the teepee has smoke flaps carefully crafted to resemble the smoke flaps of an authentic Lakota teepee. On a real teepee, smoke flaps can be positioned different ways so that a fire can burn inside while there is a heavy rain outside or while there is wind coming from one direction or another. Like on a real teepee, the flaps on this miniature teepee can be put in various positions or even closed entirely.

Inner Lining: The Lakota and other plains Indians had inner linings on their teepees. These linings served two purposes -- privacy and warmth. Because of the inner lining, a person's shadow couldn't be seen on the outside of the teepee at night. Some old accounts written by people who lived in teepees as children mention stuffing the inner lining with fabric scraps and such which gave the teepee its own sort of insulation.

This miniature tepee is a great way to bring American history to life for yourself or your family. It can provide hours of educational play for children, and it would look beautiful on a shelf. It is a great way to teach and remember our American heritage.
