Who made the tipis and where?
Many of the Native American tribes of the Great Plains used tipis. (list of nomadic plains tribes from wikipedia: Blackfoot, Arapaho, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, Gros Venture, Kiowa, Lakota, Lipan, Plains Apache (or Kiowa Apache), Plains Cree, Sarsi, Sioux, Shoshone, and Tonkawa.) They were the ideal shelter for the nomadic lifestyle of the Plains Tribes, as tipis are durable, portable, and can be dissassembled, moved and reconstructed quickly.

How many poles are in a blackfoot tipi?
There was never a fixed number of lodgepoles in a moyis(Blackfoot for a tipi-style lodge). The basis was always a framework of 4 tied poles; all the others were simply leaned against this base. The number of poles would depend on the size of the moyis - some were made with a cover of about 12 buffalo hides, but larger ones used 20 and would naturally need more poles.While Crow tipis used very long poles (having about 10 feet of pole showing above the cover), Blackfoot poles were always shorter (about 6 feet taller than the cover).

How do you draw tribal designs for a Comanche teepee?
There were no tribal designs on Comanche tipis. Most tipis (around 90%) had no decoration of any kind - only an important warrior, a band or war chief or a medicine man might have the right to paint his tipi and then the designs would be entirely specific to that one person.An early painting by George Catlin of Comanche tipis shows one with "calumet" designs painted in red - these are sacred long-stemmed pipes decorated with eagle feathers and carried by a war party leader.Photographs of Comanche tipis taken throughout the 19th century show that almost all have no painted designs.
