A portable dwelling is a type of housing that can be easily moved from one location to another. Two common examples of portable dwellings are teepees and tents. Teepees are cone-shaped structures made of animal hides or canvas, and have been used by Native Americans for centuries. Tents are lightweight structures made of fabric, and are often used for camping or other outdoor activities. Both teepees and tents provide a temporary shelter that can be quickly set up and taken down.
