tepee
Conical pole tent
A tepee is a conical tent traditionally used by Indigenous peoples of the North American Plains, made of animal skins or canvas stretched over a frame of wooden poles.
The design allows smoke from interior fires to escape through an opening at the top.
Also spelled teepee or tipi.
