Best Answer

The Lakota word tipi means "they dwell" and is notthe name of the buffalo-hide lodge used by that portion of the Sioux - it is simply a word incorrectly applied historically. The Teton Lakotas called their homes by several names:

  • tiikcheya
  • tiphestola
  • wakheya
  • wizi
  • tiowa (a painted tipi)
  • wiowa (a painted tipi)
