Book Description
This study compares a model of the relationship between tipi and the tipi ring, using primarily ethnographic information, to data from the British Block Cairn site in southeastern Alberta. It demonstrates that the tipi required a considerable investment of raw materials, and, as a result, the tipi ring is a product of a carefully reasoned decision on the correct anchoring strategy for a given environmental setting.
