Talk:Tipi

message: I want to remove the Portuguese language link - as it's totally unrelated to this article - but since I don't have the time to learn how to do that in the new version of that feature I'm asking if someone can do that for me. Thanks in advance. :) CasperBraske (talk) 21:38, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm going to update the article, but wanted to put that out there first Red Slash 17:17, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Lewis H. Morgan is cited on how to erect the tipi poles, but his quote "The frame consists of thirteen poles from fifteen to eighteen feet in length, which, after being tied together at the small ends, are raised upright with a twist so as to cross the poles above the fastening" does not reflect the way a tipi frame is actually constructed. The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction, and Use By Gladys Laubin, Reginald Laubin (a work that is cited on two other occasions in this article) is most likely a better authority on this subject, the Laubins having learned the technique directly from Sioux people who continued the use of the tipi into the 20th century.
Personally, I have used the Laubin instructions eight times and I would make this edit myself (citing the Laubins' work), but I no longer have access to The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction, and Use and so I can no longer directly quote it. Per the Laubins: Three poles are lashed together on the ground, raised up and spread out into a tripod, and the remaining poles are laid into the three crotches above the lashing (this accurately conveys the technique, but it is not a quote). I hope that another user with access to the Laubins' work could extract from the The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction, and Use a more correct summary of how the frame is erected.

message: The article claims "tipi" is the most common spelling in Canada. As a Canadian I have never seen a single use of this spelling, in Canada or anywhere, until seeing it here. No one knows what "tipi" is. Teepee should be the title of the article. 24.222.58.42 (talk) 16:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The word comes from the Lakota/Dakota people and it has consistently been spelled tipi throughout the decades and is the spelling these tribes use today. I added sources for this information.  oncamera  (talk page) 18:16, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
