Not quite. It was a "liner" hung around the lower third of the inside of the tipi that was painted or decorated in some way. At first these liners were of animal hides sewn together, but when trade cloth became available this was quickly used instead - photographs of Blackfoot and Crow tipi interiors often show patterned cotton material being used.

The liner helped prevent drafts and also kept condensation on the wooden poles away from valuable leather and rawhide items.
