Tipis were made from wood and animal skins. Lodgepole Pines or Red Cedar was the preferred wood. The cover was made from tanned buffalo hide, although elk was also used. Ropes made from sinew and wooden pegs were also used.

Why do American Indians use teepes?

Most native peoples of the Americas have never used tipis and would never have seen one. Only a very small number of tribes on the Great Plains and areas bordering the Plains used tipis, because they suited the nomadic lifestyle of wandering buffalo hunters. If you visit a Kayapo village in Brazil, or a Maya village in Yucatan, or a Naskapi village in Canada, or a Zuni village in the USA you will find no tipis have ever been used by those native Americans.
