Tipis are cheap and portable. To live in one involves intimate familiarity with fire, earth, sky, and roundness. The canvas is a shadow-play of branches by day, people by night. Depending on your body’s attitude about weather, a tipi as a dwelling is either a delight or a nuisance. Whichever, you can appreciate the elegant design of a tipi and the completeness of the culture that produced it.
The Laubin’s book is the only one on tipis, but it is very good. All the information you need, technical or traditional, is here, and the Laubins are interesting people.
[Stewart Brand, Whole Earth Catalog Fall 1968 p.19]
