Tipi: Home of the Nomadic Buffalo Hunters



I've been doing plenty of research for the design of my lodge cover, since I want this to be both authentic and a durable costruction. I'm never happy blindly following a popularly-accept plan for anything. I want to know why something is such-and-such a way - should my lodge have narrow or large smoke flaps, gores or no gores, sewn stake loops or pebble wrap loops... the list of styles is varied if not endless.

Anyway, talented illustrator Paul Goble shares his years of research in this highly graphic book, and he explains many "why's" quite clearly.
