Best Answer

Teepees were essentially the main types of houses used by the native American tribes that traveled regularly (the natives that lived in the planes). They provided shelter from strong weather and fires could be placed inside the middle of a teepee to provide heat. the main use for teepees was that they could be disassembled extremely fast and then carries. this portability allowed the natives to pack up and chase their game when the tribe decides to move.
