Tipi Living is Like a Tipi Vacation!

I lived in a Sioux Native American Indian style tipi for the better part of a year, a week or a weekend isn't long enough. Temperatures of 20 degrees in North Dakota in the United States of America gets too cold with a pit fire, box stove and a gas campfire. It isn't all that bad in a 20 below sleeping bag. Sleeping head to head is best to enjoy the fire and to keep warm.

The true tipi is always a tilted cone that is steeper at the back. On the front side with the gentler slope the smoke hole is extended down with two smoke flaps or wings that flank the smoke hole and they are supported by outside tipi poles that are movable to regulate the draft that carries off the smoke. There is no comparison with the construction of a true Plains Indian tipi and the primitive symmetrical cone tipi or tent that is smoky. I share about visions I have experienced in a tipi fire and coals. Its not a myth!

During the annual sun dance tipis faced the the center of the circle. Tipis where always pitched East to meet the Morning Star and the Sun's holy light that came in through the smoke hole and the door. Wind usually does not blow from the east.

During colder weather an inner liner is used in a tipi. The Native Americans would stuff straw, dead grass, leaves or whatever was available for added insulation. I have used dried leaves between the inner and outer liners. The liners can be 4' to 12' high depending on how tall your tipi is. It really does add good insulation. In the spring the leaves need to be removed as soon as possible if they have taken on moisture so that they don't cause any rot to the canvas. Lifting the sides of the tipi's outer and inner liner allows moisture in the ground to dry inside

This is a picture of me on a Tipi Vacation

I like cool nicknames ... and animals and nature.

There I am sitting on my bed and enjoying the warm fire. You can see how the ozon canopies over my bed. Behind me you can see the inner liner of the tipi. If you look above the ozon, you will see the outer liner, and the tipi lodge polls. I feel like a princess with a canopy bed.

My bed is on a wood platform off the ground, and I have a thick mat and lots of soft blankets to sleep on, and a nice warm sleeping bag that is fitting for the season. I use solar lights outside around the tipi, because there are no bright street lights, when the sun goes down...its dark.

What is called an ozon is used to keep the heat in where people sleep. I have used a canvas ozon (or ozan) that is draped above my bed like a canopy. The heat from the open fire is held under the canopy longer, instead of just going out the top of the tipi. A tipi is designed to be like a chimney where the smoke rises and so does the heat. Trapping the heat in where you sleep is a great idea when temperatures are colder. An ozon can keep your sleeping area 10 to 20 degrees warmer depending on the size of the fire and other conditions. I prefer to be warm!
Tipi on Wikipedia the free encyclopedia.

The way a tipi is constructed makes it stand strong in high winds. My Uncle Eddie made his own tipi which was originally for the grand kids to play in and enjoy. Now it sits in the yard for show and is really an eye catcher from the road as people pass by. ~
~ Tipis usually have log poles for construction because they are stronger and give more support. You could build a tipi out of pvc, but the construction won't be as strong and the tipi will sag as the pvc bends, and it will bend because it does not have enough support. - I have seen construction of the log poles using half wood pole and half pvc joined together, this does bend. Using wood poles cut in 1/2 and joined with a metal connector between works well. ~

Tipi means Dwell!
Never be ashamed to shed the tear of sorrow or of joy in you own home. ~ Me
What I am telling you is to live with the earth and its gifts, for us that will use them.

I Have Had Spiritual Experiences in the Tipi

Fire in Tipi picture: Thanks, Bob - flickrphotos.com

I heard the legend of American Indian's that saw and heard things in a fire. I always kept that in the back of my mind. Would I have ever really taken it to heart unless I ... had the experience myself? Yes, because different cultures experience spiritual encounters differently according to traditions and beliefs. There is no reality, only perception!

While watching the fire and the coals burning in the tipi, I have seen the coals and fire become alive with different animals and a person as they speak. I have seen the bear, the wolf, the eagle, and white buffalo; and I have seen one person who spoke to me several times with much love. - I have had many spiritual encounters, so I know them and where they are from. - The coals have been the main place where I have seen and heard when the fire has died down and the coals are very hot. They are visions of spiritual things past and present and future. These visions are spiritual gifts that I was given to bless me and they have.

I seen the wolf running with it's tongue hanging out the left side of it's mouth. It never did look at me and just kept running through a wild forest. I must have watched the wolf run for 5 minutes or more. The wolf kept running while I seen the forest changing, until it ran out of sight. It is something like watching a video screen but in the coals of the fire ... and I have always been aware of what was being shown to me as a gift.

As the wolf was running out of sight I kept watching behind it to see if something was chasing it. Then I saw the White Buffalo appear in the distance. The buffalo was charging fast in a cloud of dust and once it fully appeared it came to a halt. It stood and watched as the wolf ran out of it's sight. I did not see anymore that night, I went to sleep knowing I was blessed with amazing peace and curiosity. animated fire

Native American spirituality is interesting and spirit guides.

Pink Ribbons Tacked On Tips of Tipi Poles

The Poles Point To The Heavens Above

This is a picture of the very first time the tipi was set up. The poles are still light wood color and haven't been darkened by smoke yet. Ribbons are often attached to the tips of the poles for decoration. The ribbons also serve a purpose to show which way the wind is blowing. - The smoke flaps on the tipi need to be repositioned when the wind changes so the smoke will rise out of the top. I have been smoked out of a tipi more than once before learning about controlling the smoke with the flaps. The smoke flaps have a smoke flap pole that is used to reach the points of the flaps. The tip of the smoke flaps have a pocket that the pole fits into. The flaps can be easily opened and closed to whatever amount is needed. - It becomes an art when working with the wind and fire! One thing I enjoy is using a "fire piston" to start a fire in the tipi.

Tipi the Tipigal

Image by Cool Text: Free Logos and Buttons - Create An Image Just Like This

The ground represents Mother Earth, the sides of the tipi represent the sky and the poles...the prayers that go to the Great Spirit. It was customary to have an earth alter behind the fire where sage or incense was burned as a ceremonial offering. Sometimes the best cut of meat was burned on the alter as thanks, or in the fire.

Solar Showers are Great for Tipi Bathing

Solar showers work very well to heat water, it'll get hot!

Solar Showers can be hung on a tree limb for outdoor bathing. If you prefer your privacy it can be hung in a tipi with a curtain as well. To shower in a tipi, it would be good to have an area where the water drains outside under the tipi liner, or have a large floor pan of some kind to catch the water. ~ Learn how to shower with much less water in-case of a natural disaster.

Tipi Living
There is no running water in a tipi. If your fortunate to be set up by a lake or river, you have a great place for bathing. If not a solar shower is what I have used and they work real well. You can lay the shower bag full of water in the sun with the black side up and the sun's heat will warm the water in the solar bag nicely. Or you can heat your water by the camp fire and put it in the bag. Then you take what is known as a Navy shower by getting wet, turn the water off, lather up, and rise off.

I like this fire pit because of the metal top that keeps heat coming out at the side, instead of the heat going up only. The hole at the top allows the smoke to rise and escape. I would put one of these in the tipi, if I had one, It would serve as a heat source better then just an open fie pit on the ground.

A Tipi really is all that!...

I can just smell the fresh air out in the country and hear the birds singing, and fish jumping in the water. Squirrels running to and fro chasing each other up and down a tree. I love to be in nature and be a part of it! It grounds me with the earth.

A Luggable Loo for the Tipi

This is what I have used, its cost effective, works well with modesty removed.

You can buy plastic bags or replacement liners for a loo or use those plastic shopping bags from the stores, or just leave a small amount of water in the bottom. In case of a natural disaster I believe everyone should have at least one of these.

Tipi Lifestyle
There are no flushing toilets in a tipi, so what I have used is a portable potty, that can be set up inside the tipi wherever you choose to call the bathroom or inside of a camp shower shelter. (A curtain can be easily designed for privacy in a tipi if desired.) Deodorizing pouches can be purchased from camping outfitter stores to put in the potty, but they are easy to empty and keep clean. Some people like to purchase a little Tent Hut to use as their out house.

Buffalo on the Great Plains in North Dakota

Ten to twenty buffalo hides were used to cover a tipi, always an even number. The hides were sewn together with buffalo leather stripes.

Books About The Great Plains Indians & Tipis

Tipis were used in the Great Plains

"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children." Ancient Indian Proverb

A tipi, also tepee or teepee, is a conical tent originally made of animal skins or birch bark and popularized by The Great Plains Indians. Tipis were transported with horses from place to place on the Great Plains as the people traveled in search of the great buffalo. The buffalo sheltered, feed, and clothed the people. Tipis are associated with Native Americans in general.

Rugs Are Popular In A Tipi

They are easy to shake out and keep clean. If you're going to have a tipi, a lanolium floor is easy to keep clean also. Decorative Southwestern Native American Print Runner Rug - Also, having a wood platform to make your bed on in a tipi is a great idea. It will keep you off the ground when it is damp and cold. - The Native Americans used to dig a pit under their beds and put hot coals in the pit at night to keep warm during the winter months. - I have never tried that, but it would work real well and would need some fire safety.

I told you that I like to look at tipi pictures.

I painted plywood, decoupaged pictures on, and added a native leather belt with a silver buckle that was a gift.

My Roots: Kabetogama is a Chippewa word meaning "rough waters" and lives up to its name. The lake is 18 miles long, a maximum width of 4 miles, is 25,760 acres in size with a maximum depth of 80 feet, it has over 200 islands, and 77 miles of shoreline. The entire lake is in the only national park in Minnesota's "Voyageurs National Park". VNP takes up a much larger area with 218,055 acres with 38% being fresh water lakes.

One of my favorite places is Chief Woodenfrog Campground at Kabetogama, named after Chief Woodenfrog. My first exposure to a tipi was at Ellsworth Rock Garden a historical grotto created by J.E. Ellsworth on the north shore of the lake. The grotto is only accessible by water or float plane. VNP has some of the oldest exposed rock in the world. Kabetogama is the gateway to Voyageurs and it is free to use. The ancient rocks, water, and towering trees may seem indestructible, but the fragile resources sincerely asks you to use them with care when you are there.

Tipi Camping Items I Love

Loading

My children had a Tipi growing up!

Now my Grand Children can enjoy it!

Children Tipi Site of North Dakota

Add a Children's Play Tipi and the imagination will take over.

You can see the construction of the lodge poles that are joined together at the top. The canvas is then put over the poles. The tipi can be staked into the ground the same way that a large tipi is staked down. What the Indians used to do and this method is still used and works well... A pebble is placed in the canvas and tied in with rope at the bottom of the canvas and then fastened to the stakes in the ground. It takes some strength to get it tied in tightly, but practice makes it easier. The tipi will then be secure and you won't be putting holes in the canvas. Kids love to go camping in the back yard in tents and teepees are a lot of fun for play and over nights. A child's tipi would be about the same as setting up Pup Tents.


Tipis are meant to be decorated with colorful paints, so let your kids personalize their tipi with patterns and hand-prints. Purchase acyclic paints and let the kids have a fun project being creative! Originally pigments were used to paint the Plains Indian's dreams on the tipi. Now house paints are used for decorating a tipi that will be used to with-stand weather.

Image of My Tipi Creepers & Buffalo Skull

I love my Tipi Creepers! They are soft inside and the sheep skins seem to hug my feet in comfort. They are nice and warm, so I keep them handy for when my feet get chilled. I usually am taking them off and on because I like to sit Indian Style, cross-legged. They are a gift that my brother and his wife gave for my birthday. The fleece inside conforms to the feet. I spray mine with water-proofing, so if the ground is damp my Tipi Creeps won't get wet. I'm sure it would-not hurt them at all to get wet a little. See Unique Teepee Creepers!

American Indian Books/Wars

Red FeatherBooks on Indian wars, Native American history and native crafts are great to read and learn about customs and traditions. One book that was life changing for me is Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, and I would recommend reading Like a Hurricane: The Indian Movement from Alcatraz to Wounded Knee for some modern day history.

An Indian History of the American West - First published in 1970

It was the summer of 1970 that I read this book, it changed my life forever. In 1973 I got to meet Clyde Bellecourt in a Minneapolis hospital after the 71 day occupation at Wounded Knee. I was living in Minneapolis, visited a Native American clubhouse and some times volunteered to answer phones and take messages to people. There was always someone interesting around to talk to, or cook a pot of chilly with. Anyway, I knew this Indian Chief doctor, who knew Mr. Bellecourt. He asked me if I wanted to go meet him, because was going to go visit his friend. I was honored, and went with him to meet the man.

We took an elevator to Mr. Bellecourt's hospital floor, and were silently greeted by many of his friends and family. They lined the halls of the hospital as we walked to the patient's room. Now, I have to tell you that the doctor had given me a carved flint arrowhead on a leather strap to wear, and it had been blessed by a medicine man. This was meaningful.
... to be continued.

Native American Animal Totems

Totems: The Transformative Power of Your Personal Animal Totem

When I was young, a man gave my dad an animal totem pole. It had a Bald Eagle on top, with a Black Bear climbing the totem. It was beautifully carved from a log by a fellow native of Kabetogama Lake. Dad had it displayed near the garage. What happened to the totem, I don't know; but I wish I had it. It was good medicine to me and made me happy to look at.

Totems: The Transformative Power of Your Personal Animal Totem

Amazon Price: $6.75 (as of 02/14/2012)Buy Now

I believe the Bald Eagle is my animal totem. They represent freedom, honor, majesty, and power to me. The American Bald Eagle is my favorite wild bird and I would say wild animal. The Black Bear is pretty special to me too. I've been eye to eye with a few of them growing up in the wilderness of Kabetogama. Totems are an artistic expression of Native American spirituality.

~ One Spirit

ONE Spirit assists the Lakota people in preserving and revitalizing their culture, language, and self-sufficiency while meeting the basic needs of their families. We recognize Native Americans as equal and valued through intercultural relationships.

native american from drum tipiI've always loved drums and learned how to play drums is school, and played in the school band and orchestra.

What I have liked playing in the Tipi is a Frame Drum or Doumbek. Its always better when there is more than one person drumming, and a flute really does sound nice with the drums. There are times when drumming can take you into higher places, and I really do enjoy that.

It is www.squidoo.com/greek-debt (I have already posted it on the guestbook of another one of your lenses, but it seems that you haven't read yet). I don't know why I can't post on the lensmaster's pages.

    I tried leaving this in your bio 3 times, but it wouldn't let me. So I came here. Love to help. When I published my blueberry lens I put it in the spotlight forum and asked if anyone saw any typos to let me know. There was so much in the lens and I checked it several times and so did someone else. But one got by us. Thankfully some kind person let me know and I did what you did, jumped on it and fixed it. We have to watch out for one another. If you ever see one in mine, please let me know. Thanks.
