Abstract
Tent encampments of the North American Plains Indians have been studied and reported upon by a host of observers since at least the middle of the nineteenth century. Much of the pertinent archaeological literature addresses what is commonly called “Tipi Rings.” This paper discusses several other ethnological components that go hand in hand with tipi rings but existed in more sheltered locations awayfrom the winter winds, namely timbers to anchor tent walls and the construction of windbreaks for further protection from the strong polar blasts. Drawings and photographs illustrate these practices.
