noun

A teepee (also spelled tipi) is a type of cone-shaped tent traditionally used by some Native American tribes of the Great Plains. It's known for its unique design, which typically consists of a frame of wooden poles covered with animal skins, such as buffalo hide. The shape of the teepee makes it stable in strong winds and efficient in shedding rain.

Example

1. The museum displayed a traditional teepee, showing how Native American tribes lived.
2. During their camping trip, the kids slept in a teepee instead of a regular tent.
3. He painted symbols on the teepee to represent his family's heritage.
