What was the main advantage of the tepees used for shelter by the native cultures of the Great Plains?
Only a small number of native American people used the buffalo-hide lodge commonly known today as the tipi (in fact each tribe had their own name for that kind of dwelling). Far more tribes used bark-covered dwellings in the Midwest and eastern parts of the North American continent.
The Plains tribes were nomads, meaning that they frequently moved from place to place in order to find animals to hunt; everything they used needed to be easily transportable by horse. The "tipi" was ideal since the cover could be folded into a neat package and the poles could serve to make "travois" or drags behind the horses - on these travois would be placed all types of possessions, tools, weapons, clothes, old people and children.
The tipi-style lodge could be assembled or taken down very quickly by just a few people; it was warm in the winter and cool in summer; it was large enough to house an extended family and it needed few repairs.
The most important factor for the Plains tribes was its ground plan - a circle (or nearly so). The circle was a religiously significant shape among all Plains people, who saw the circle as the "right shape" for a dwelling to be, based on their understanding of the earth, the universe, the Spirit World and nature.
