Manning relates how Native Americans once constructed and used tepees in the Great Plains region of North America.  They provided shelter from wind, rain, and snow and were easily relocated.  Men hunted the buffalo.  Women cleaned, treated, sewed hides together and erected the tepee.  Used by single families or for ceremonies, the tepee was the center of many tribal activities.  Included are: a glossary, additional resources to read, websites, an index, as well as a few common core critical thinking questions.  Captioned photographs, a map, or illustrations are on every spread.  Additional fact boxes are on many pages.
