Generally Tipis were used by nomadic plains tribes, such as the Blackfoot, Crow, Sarsi, Hidatsa, Omaha, Comanche, Teton-Dakota, Assiniboin, Cheyenne, Gros Ventre, Arapaho, Kiowa, Plains-Cree, Mandan, and Pawnee.
They needed a home that was easy to move.
The nomadic tribes transported the tipis on a frame called a travois.
They primarily used Tipis as shelter. The Women of the family were resposible for the tipis and dragged the long poles used to set up the tipis, when ever they moved.
More than one cultural area made use of tipis. The Plains tribes lived entirely in tipis as part of their nomadic lifestyle; tribes bordering the Plains (and even some of the Plateau tribes on the far side of the Rockies) used tipis in combination with more permanent dwellings. Their hunters would occasionally travel into the Plains, using tipis temporarily before retuning to their own villages.
Many of the Native American tribes of the Great Plains used tipis. (list of nomadic plains tribes from wikipedia: Blackfoot, Arapaho, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, Gros Venture, Kiowa, Lakota, Lipan, Plains Apache (or Kiowa Apache), Plains Cree, Sarsi, Sioux, Shoshone, and Tonkawa.) They were the ideal shelter for the nomadic lifestyle of the Plains Tribes, as tipis are durable, portable, and can be dissassembled, moved and reconstructed quickly.
