Concrete Interstate Tipis of South Dakota (Constructed 1968-79) Meet the Criteria Consideration G Because of Their Exceptional Importance
NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior Concrete Interstate TipisPut of South Here Dakota National Park Service Multiple Property Listing Name of Property National Register of Historic Places Multiple, South Dakota Continuation Sheet County and State Section number E Page 1 E. Statement of Historic Contexts NOTE: The terms “tipi,” “tepee,” and “teepee” are used interchangeably in both historical and popular documents. For consistency, the term “tipi” will be used in this document unless an alternate spelling is quoted directly. NOTE: The interstate tipis are not true tipis. They are concrete structures that imitate lodgepoles, or the lodgepoles framing the tipi structure. The lodgepoles interlock in a similar spiral fashion, as would a real tipi. An exact imitation of tipis would also have included smoke flap poles and covering. However, they have historically been referred to as tipis. This document will continue that tradition.

A Historical Note
A Historical Note We have included the information on this page to show you the original procedure that the Sioux used to determine the proper tripod pole measurements. If you have a tipi and do not know what size it is (or if you lose this set up booklet) you would use the method explained on this page to find your exact tripod pole lengths. It is simple and it works every time. We include this page only as an interesting historical reference. You will not need to follow the instructions on this page. The complete instructions that you will follow to set up your Nomadics tipi begin on page 4. All the measurements you will need are already figured out for you starting on page 5. -4”- In order to establish the proper position and length for the door pole, start at A and walk around the edge of the tipi cover to point B. Walk toe-to-heel one foot in front of the other and count your steps from A to B. Let us say for instance that you count 30 steps from A to B. Simply divide 30 by 1/3. This gives you 10. That means that you start again at A and walk toe-to- heel around the edge of the tipi cover 10 steps, going towards B again. Stop at 10 steps and place the end of the door pole (D) at that point on the edge of the tipi cover. Your three tripod poles should now look like the drawing above. The north and south poles going side by side down the middle of the tipi cover, the door pole placed 1/3 of the way from A to B, and the door pole crossing the north and south poles at Z. -

Nordic Tipis – a Home for Big and Small Adventures ROOTS
ADVENTURE Nordic tipis – a home for big and small adventures ROOTS THE PEOPLE OF THE SUN AND WIND The Sami are the only indigenous people in Europe. They used to live as nomadic trackers, hunters and reindeer keepers. Their country Sápmi extends over northern Scandinavia and parts of Russia. The tough climate, the long winter and nature’s tribulations were part of these people’s everyday life. The lifecycle of the reindeer was also theirs and they accompanied their animals to their summer and winter grazing grounds. Traditionally, the Sami lived in a “kåta” in the winter. The focal point of the tent was the fire which gave them heat and light and a feel of homeliness. Our company was started in Moskosel, a little village in Swedish Lapland, where the Sami heritage is ever present. Our hope is that, when you choose a Tentipi Nordic tipi, you will feel the same closeness to the elements as the indigenous people do. Separating the reindeer – an activity steeped in cultural heritage that is still a central part of reindeer husbandry © Peter Rosén CONTENT 04 Adventure tent range 24 Stove and fire equipment 26 Tent accessories 31 Sustainability 32 Handicraft and material 34 Crucial features 36 Event tents 38 Tentipi Camp 39 Further reading Wanted: a home in nature The idea came to me when I was sitting by a stream, far out in the wilds of Lapland. Tired and sweaty after a long day of exciting canoeing, what I really wanted to do was socialise with my friends while eating dinner and chatting around a fire. -
