How many poles are in a blackfoot tipi?
There was never a fixed number of lodgepoles in a moyis(Blackfoot for a tipi-style lodge). The basis was always a framework of 4 tied poles; all the others were simply leaned against this base. The number of poles would depend on the size of the moyis - some were made with a cover of about 12 buffalo hides, but larger ones used 20 and would naturally need more poles.While Crow tipis used very long poles (having about 10 feet of pole showing above the cover), Blackfoot poles were always shorter (about 6 feet taller than the cover).
How long did the Arapaho tribe live in teepees?
We know the period that tipis ceased to be commonly used by the Arapaho, but we can never know when they were first used because that was in prehistoric times (before any written records were kept).The Southern Arapaho moved to their reservation in 1867; the Northern Arapaho moved to the Wind River reservation in 1878. Within about 20 years they had begun to build plank houses and cabins instead of using tipis, although a few were still made using canvas instead of hides. By the end of the 19th century almost all Arapaho people lived in ordinary houses on their reservations.Even before they acquired horses, the Arapaho used very small tipis that could be transported using dogs - but how long this went on is unknown.
