The Plains tribes used tanned buffalo hides for the walls of their tipis. They were attached to poles, usually selected from the lodgepole pine trees. The poles were set together and the hides were sewn together and then wrapped around the poles, leaving an opening at the top as a smoke hole. The opening for the door was normally covered in hide.

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.

Buffalo Hides
Buffalo hides are generally far too stiff and thick for making clothes, but ideal for moccasin soles. Tanned hides were sewn together to make tipi covers. Worn out tipi covers which had been made waterproof by constant exposure to smoke from the internal fire made excellent moccasin soles. Tanned hides were also used for bedding and winter robes, mittens, arrow quivers, gun cases and riding gear. Rawhide was used for making containers, headdresses, ropes, saddles, knife sheaths, quirts, belts, glue and rattles; the thickest part of a bull's hide (the neck and shoulders) was used as the basis for war shields.
