As The Indian Tipi makes obvious, the American Indian is both a practical person and a natural artist. Indian inventions are commonly both serviceable and beautiful. Other tents are hard to pitch, hot in summer, cold in winter,... When the first edition of this book was published in 1957, the art of making a tipi was almost lost, even among American Indians.
