It's easier and much quicker to take apart, move and reconstruct, because it doesn't have a separate roof - the walls slope inwards and meet at the top, plus all that is needed to build such a home are some long poles made from trees and tanned hide they got from hunting wild game like bison.

Not all First Nations people use tepees as dwellings, this was limited to the Plains Tribes who had need of an easily moved and readily erected dwelling made of locally available materials. Eastern Woodlands tribes used bark and branches to build longhouses which resembled Quonset huts, tribes on the west coat built timber homes, south western American tribes built hogans and some lived in adobe dwellings or homes carved from cliffs.
