CA: Tipis at Lake Jennings now available for camping

(Nov. 16, 2016) -- The tipis are spacious – each measures 20 feet in diameter, made of canvas from Colorado and pine wood poles from Montana. Tipi (also spelled tee-pee) is a Lakota Sioux Indian word meaning “living in.” The Native Americans used buffalo hides to make their tipis, which were toted on horseback from site to site across the Great Plains.
