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.
