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.

How did the Cheyenne Indians build there teepee's?

The Cheyenne Indians constructed their teepees using a framework of long wooden poles, typically around 12 to 20 poles arranged in a conical shape. They covered the frame with animal hides, often from buffalo, which provided insulation and protection from the elements. The design allowed for a central fire pit and chimney, facilitating cooking and warmth. The teepee's portability was essential for the nomadic lifestyle of the Cheyenne, enabling them to easily assemble and disassemble their homes as they followed buffalo herds.
