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.

There has to be a distinction between those tribes that always lived in tipi-style lodges (pure Plains tribes) and those that occasionally used tipi-style lodges when hunting away from their villages (marginally Plains tribes).

True Plains groups are (from north to south):

  • Atsina
  • Sarci
  • Plains Cree
  • Blood, Piegan and Blackfoot
  • Assiniboin or Hohe
  • Crow
  • Shoshone
  • Teton Lakota
  • Cheyenne and Suhtaio
  • Arapaho
  • Jicarilla Apache
  • Kiowa
  • Kiowa-Apache
  • Comanche

Marginally Plains groups include:

Tipi is a Lakota (Sioux) word meaning "to dwell" or more simply translated as "house" and the Sioux are credited with 'inventing' the Tipi, although many of the plains Indians used them.
