Copywrite Tipi-Heaven 2000-2010
For centuries, the North American Indian made his home on
his continent in a simple dwelling defined by nature and
dictated by the elements. The tipi or "dwelling place" was at
once a dwelling place for man and an artistic statement of form
and function.
Like its predecessors, today's tipi is at home with nature,
meeting the elements with a simple form that has survived the
test of time.
Imagine a circular room, 16 feet across with a high ceiling;
a room, filled with lush, diffused light. Now imagine this room
functions as your sole living space for cooking, sleeping and
living. Total simplicity.
The natural, graceful lines lend a peaceful aura to the tall,
spacious interior. Living in a tipi is an exercise in simplicity.
Small candle lanterns provide subdued light for cooking,
reading, discusions and playing games.
The most Unique Holiday Experience is the way of the Native
American Indian. Sleeping under the stars in a cosy canvas tipi
with a warm fire burning through the night.
This is an adventure for all ages, families or recreational
groups.
To experience a tipi is to travel back in time when man had a
greater sensitivity to nature and families were bonded to the
common goal of survival. If you are looking for relaxation,
inspiration and tranquility then a tipi holiday will provide it.
Tipis were first designed and used by people on the Plains of
America amongst tribes such as the Navajo, Sioux, and
Cheyennes. Tipis provided a functional and cosy home.
The original tipi was a temple as well as a home. The floor of
the tipi represented the earth on which we live, the walls of the
tipi the sky, and the poles the trails from earth to the spirit
world. For those looking for a peaceful solitary retreat from
urban busy-ness, this roughing-it experience is unparalleled.
