Yesterday we went into a Indian council lodge. We learned about how the LINER has special features, like the insulation it gives in the winter, plus when you start a fire you don't suffocate. How that works is the lining drives the smoke from the fire up words out the top, also it will serve as a rack for hanging clothes. There was a buffalo hide, with a skull, in the middle of the tepee. It looked so cool! Some tribes would just leave the tanned buffalo hide white for their tepee, but some tribes would paint symbols and paintings on their tepee.
