| definition: |
A tepee is a kind of tent that people can sleep in or live in. A tepee is shaped like a cone. At the top of the cone, there is a hole for air to come in and also for smoke to go out.
Tepees were invented by some of the groups of people who were living in North America before other people came from Europe. Tepees were made from the skins of animals or the bark from trees. Some tepees are still made this way, but some are now made of cotton or other material.
