The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction and Use by Reginald and Gladys Laubin INTERNET SPECIAL $14.50 (plus tax and shipping)
List price $24.95This is the tipi bible! Our owners Dan and Emma Kigar utilized the information in this book extensively in designing their first tipi. It was also invaluable as they lived in the tipi for several years at high elevation and in harsh winters. The following exerpt from Prairie Forum appears on the back cover and gives a great overview of the book... "The Indian Tipi includes detailed information on making such a tent, its furnishings and decorations, living in the tipi, traveling with it (and with its long poles), the Native kitchen, the sweatlodge, and much more. There is even a section on Native child rearing. The practical directions are illustrated with many diagrams and other pictures, including eight pages of color photographs. The uniqueness of this book is due to the firsthand quality of its information, much of it acquired directly from the Indian elders who were well versed in the subject." |
