Tipi's were used for shelter by the Plains Indian tribes such as the Blackfoot, Crow, Sarsi, Hidatsa, Omaha, Comanche, Teton-Dakota, Assiniboin, Cheyenne, Gros Ventre, Arapaho, Kiowa, Plains-Cree, Mandan, and Pawnee.

Tipi's were easily moved, were warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and the opening at the top allowed the use of a fire inside the tipi.
