The Comanche tipi-style lodge is called numukahne.
First you will need access to a large herd of buffalo; then you kill up to 30 buffalo cows and skin them. Then each hide is pegged out on the ground and scraped hard on both sides with a special tool to remove all traces of the hair and fat from both sides. Then each hide must be washed and pegged out again; then it is rubbed vigorously with the brain of the same animal to preserve and waterproof it. Only 30 hides to treat - about a week or 10 days of very hard work.
Then the hides must be suspended over a smoky fire to assist in preserving and waterproofing them. Then you sew the hides together with buffalo sinew thread and an awl, filling in any gaps with small pieces cut to fit; the finished cover must be almost semi-circular, with triangular smoke-flaps at the top of the two halves of the straight edge.
Then find around 12 to 22 straight, long saplings, thicker at the bottom and tapering towards the top. They need to be about 20 feet long, or more for a larger lodge. Take off the bark and remove any branches or lumps. Two thinner poles will be needed for the smoke flaps. You will also need around 15 to 20 wooden pins, sharp at each end, to secure the front of the cover.
Find a flat area large enough to erect the numukahne. Tie four poles together with rawhide strips about 6 feet from the tops and set up this framework. Then just lay the remaining poles (except one) against these four, spacing them out equally in a circle or oval shape on the ground. Tie the top of the cover to the remaining pole, set it against the others and pull the cover around the whole framework.
The poles will now need to be adjusted to fit tight against the inside of the cover; then fix the overlapping front edges together with the wooden pins.
Leave the lower part of the front open as a doorway, which can be covered with another buffalo hide or trade blankets.
The smoke flap poles are erected last, outside the lodge, and fit into small "pockets" on the smoke flaps. These can be adjusted to prevent the wind blowing smoke from the interior cooking fire back inside.

they are cone shaped with a hole in the top for the smoke from the fires inside
The tepee (tipi) was used by Native Americans for shelter.
The Kiowa seem to have come from the southern plains alongside the Comanches.
where did the Shasta Indians live? they live in the mountains in India and they lived in tipis
We know the period that tipis ceased to be commonly used by the Arapaho, but we can never know when they were first used because that was in prehistoric times (before any written records were kept).The Southern Arapaho moved to their reservation in 1867; the Northern Arapaho moved to the Wind River reservation in 1878. Within about 20 years they had begun to build plank houses and cabins instead of using tipis, although a few were still made using canvas instead of hides. By the end of the 19th century almost all Arapaho people lived in ordinary houses on their reservations.Even before they acquired horses, the Arapaho used very small tipis that could be transported using dogs - but how long this went on is unknown.

Give me thg\ee fyking awnser
Comanches, as with most nomadic tribes, lived in tipis which could be erected and taken down with comparative ease. Most tipis were constructed out of hides sewn together and long wooden "poles". These tree poles were first erected and the hides were attached afterwords and then formed the sacred circular form of the tipi. Occasionally, for special reasons, as with the birth of a child, for example, a circular brush 'hut' type dwelling would be used.
The Pawnees used earthen lodges but used tipis when they traveled.
I think tat they made them like tipis, but I know they made them out of dry grass and bent sticks.

The comanches enmie was the Kiowa indians
