Many native American tribes arrange their dwellings so that the doorway faced east. The same arrangement is seen in Iron Age round houses in Britain and continental Europe.

It must be remembered that the tipi-style lodge was a relatively late type of dwelling, since native Americans only seriously ventured into the Great Plains after the introduction of horses - before that, the Sioux tribes all lived in earth lodges or long houses which always had doorways facing east. The tipi simply continued a tradition that was thousands of years older.
