✏️Use the cultural guide, symbols guide, vocabulary definitions, and discussion questions to teach about the history of tipis and how they were used in Native American tribes.

✏️3 teepee crafts included! Use the templates as a stencil to create your craft on colored paper, or decorate directly on craft worksheets!

✏️Students can choose from 25 symbols, called pictographs, to create their personalized tepee art project.
