Thank you very much for sharing this documentary. I hope some others members of the community have learned how to sew teepees since then.
Thank you.

The Paths of many of our youth have become lost because many have refused to travel them..Hence they themselves have become lost..

Always thought tipi were really neat peices of culture. Didnt realize they were common over that amount of land.
