How to set-up a Cree Style Teepee - www.creestargifts.com

We are still learning about teepees, and this video is not perfect. However it is a good starting point if you are just learning how to set up a teepee. We are 100% Indigenous owned and operated. Check us out at www.creestargifts.com. We make baskets, bags, star blankets and several sizes & custom styles of teepees. We ship everywhere. (video produced by Za-Rappa Reincarnated)

I made my own poles. The best advice is no advice. But pick each pole for its purpose. Door pole, back poles, lift pole and smoke fap pole and all frame poles

Why cant you just use 5 poles for a teepee? How did Natives transport these massive poles? Did they just transport the teepee cover then cut new poles at every camp spot?

Along with CC's comment about the teepee being smaller, in the past. The poles would be used to make the travois for carrying the family's effects, and other poles. Also materials would be cached at known points along the seasonal routes. This was related to me by some co workers who are Blackfoot. I imagine it was similar for the other nations

It is good to have many hands to help but it seems I always end up with more bosses than workers... LoL... Great video... Stay safe... Have a great day...

Too many Chiefs not enough of Indians…😜

Traditionally it's the women's job to set up a teepee. At pow wow someone ask me and friend to help set up their teepee. We laughed and said that's a woman's job. But we helped, we were just joking around with them.

I'm Cree, but I've never used a ladder too pin the teepee. You can use the rope hanging down from the poles to make a ladder with two poles in the entrance. We call that an Indian ladder.

Why are the poles so long? Why do you need so much pole above the top of teepee?

[@thomasschafer7268]
