A Plains Tipi

As advertisment for the Nelson's "The Plains Indians: Artists of Earth and Sky," they have erected a full size tipi in a park along Ward Parkway. You can go inside the tipi (I guess that's an authentic spelling of what we know as teepee) where you can read about how wonderful they were, warm in winter, cool in summer, able to withstand high winds and driving rain. What more could you want? They also painted them, hence the art.
