None of the Plains tribes made any pottery since it was too heavy for nomadic people to transport easily and it was too easily broken in transit. The "Village Tribes" of the Upper Missouri (Mandans, Hidatsas and Arickaras) made pottery vessels, but they lived in semi-permanent villages so transport was not an issue.

The various Sioux tribes used containers of rawhide called parfleches, which were very lightweight. When traders made contact the Sioux began to obtain metal cooking-pots from them but they did not use pottery of any kind.

The Lakota were nomadic tribes, and used a type of home called a "tipi", made of animal skins stretched over cottonwood poles, that could be taken down quickly and moved when they left for new hunting grounds.

The poles were normally cottonwood, a strong yet lightweight wood. The covering was made from animal hides.
