The Cheyenne lived in tipi-style lodges called xamaa-vee'e in Cheyenne (the name means "ordinary dwelling"). These consisted of a framework of lodgepoles covered with a semi-circular cover made from many hides of buffalo cows, carefully tanned and smoked to make the cover waterproof and then stitched together.

Most lodge covers were left unpainted, but a few were decorated - the Cheyenne favoured stripes in their designs, sometimes half the cover would consist of parallel stripes, the other half having figures of men and animals in hunting or battle scenes.
