Product Description

Synopsis

As "The Indian Tipi" makes obvious, Plains Indians are both practical people and natural artists. Their inventions are commonly both serviceable and beautiful. The conical tipi of the Plains tribes can be pitched by one person. It is roomy, well ventilated at all times, cool in summer, well lighted, proof against high winds and heavy down-pours, and, with its cheerful fire inside, snug in the severest winter weather. The uniqueness of the Laubin's contribution rests on the fact that they themselves have lived, on and off for many years, in tipis of their own making, and are thus enabled to write from the participant, rather than the observer viewpoint. Reginald and Gladys Laubin have devoted their personal and professional lives to the preservation and interpretation of American Indian dances and culture. They are recognized authorities on and performers of Indian dances and ceremonies. They were presented the Catlin Peace Pipe Award by Red Dawn, Sioux. The authors of "Indian Dances of North America: Their Importance to Indian Life" and "American Indian Archery", the Laubins have also made films and videocassettes about Indian life and customs.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book of instruction and general information, 20 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction and Use (Paperback)
The Indian Tipi is a mine of information on that most beautiful Native American dwelling, the tipi.

This well written book covers the history or the Tipi, has full details of how to make and pitch a tipi and much useful information about living in one. It is the best book I've seen on tipi design and is the book I used to make my Tipi, ...

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ORIGINAL CLASSIC ON TIPI LIVING., 27 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction and Use (Paperback)
UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE BOOK ON THE TIPI I HAVE READ. THE LAUBINS DESCRIBE HOW TO MAKE A TIPI WITH ENOUGH DETAIL AND WITHOUT TEDIOUS TECHNICALITY, THIS VERY PRACTICAL APPROACH IS LIGHTENED BY THE CHARM OF THEIR ANECDOTES AND OBVIOUS REVERENCE FOR TIPI LIFE. THIS MAKES IT AN INSPIRATIONAL READ INSTEAD OF JUST A HOW-TO BOOK - THEIR ENTHUSIASM BREATHES POETRY AND SPIRIT INTO MY IMAGINATION, GIVING ME THE RESOLVE TO PUT MY TIPI UP AND START LIVING WELL AGAIN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! From sewing, to setting up and living in a tipi !, 12 April 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction and Use (Paperback)
I found this book to be an excellent source of information on the tipi. From sewing one up to living in one, this is the book you need.

The Indian Tipi includes detailed instructions for building a tipi, setting it up, and alot of other info, such as recipes, crafts, decorating your lodge, and more. Excellent!
