Native American tents, also known as dwellings, are structures used by Indigenous peoples of the Americas for shelter. The most common types of Native American tents are teepees, also spelled tipis or tepees, wigwams, and tepees. Teepees are cone-shaped tents made of wooden poles and animal hides, while wigwams are dome-shaped tents made of wooden poles and covered with birch bark. Tepees are similar to teepees but are smaller and made of fewer poles. Tipis are also cone-shaped tents, but they are made of canvas and have a smoke flaps at the top. All of these tents provide shelter and protection from the elements, and are still used by many Native American tribes today.
