The Indian Tipi---by Reginald Laubin, Second editionl
Very good book about how various tribes built and lived in tipi's. The book has lots of line drawings, B/W photo's,and 16 pages of color pictures. It is very interesting to read about how the indians survived in them.. and the pictures they painted on them and their meanings. For example page 238 describes"...The chiefs tipi might NOT be the nicest one in the camp... and might in fact might be one of the poorest! Because the chief is regarded as the father of the tribe and is often called upon to help those in need." If you find such facts as that interesting, you too will like the book. I'm not sure what the 2nd edition has that the 1st edition doesn't, but I suspect it is the 16 color pages of pictures and a "history of the tipi" by Stanley Vestal.

Great book, very informative, highly recomended.
Excellent book on the Native American Tipi. Full of history and the practical use, from design and style of various tribes to set up and use, wether you plan on using a Tipi for camping or long term use you will find a lot of great information to help you along the way, including decorating and primitive furnishing for comfort and function., also contains great information on making your own Tipi and furnishings. Highly recommend this book wether you plan to use a Tipi or as a reference for someone studying the history of Plains Indian living.

THE Tipi Bible
The Laubin's wrote this book in 1957 and it is STILL THE TIPI BIBLE. This is the definitive work on tipis. It includes diagrams and descriptions of how each tribe made their tipis a little different. It also includes the particulars of the things that were in a tipi and the proper use of those furnishings. Proper indian etiquette is another important section of the book. The Laubin's became more Sioux than many of the native blood Sioux indians. If you need information about tipis, this is your book. The best!
