You are clearly looking for the simplistic answer: tipi, tepee or teepee. None of these is an accurate answer, however.
The Lakota word tipi means "they dwell" and is notthe name of the buffalo-hide lodge used by that portion of the Sioux - it is simply a word incorrectly applied historically by ignorant white people. The Lakotas called their homes by several names:
- tiikcheya
- tiphestola
- wakheya
- wizi
- tiowa (a painted tipi)
- wiowa (a painted tipi)
Among other Plains and marginally Plains tribes, words were used in their own languages to mean the conical "tent":
Blackfoot......................moyis
Arapaho........................niiinón
Sanish (Arikara)............akAhpaátu
Sahaptin (Yakama).......ts'xwilí
Cheyenne.....................xamaa-vee'e ("ordinary dwelling")
Crow.............................ashi
Hidatsa.........................atitsuahe or masiihi or ati
