The plains Sioux Indians lived in tipis made out of buffalo hides and wooden poles. They are 15 - 20 feet in diameter. The tipis have flaps on the top that could be opened and closed to account for fires inside the tipi and for bad weather. They also contained hooks on the insides to hang weapons, tools and supplies. They relied on tipis for their housing since they're existence was centered around buffalo. They were a migratory tribe based on the presence of buffalo, and tipis were quick and easy to take down and put up. But, the Sioux on the east coast lived in places other than Tipis.
