There is also a 20' Tipi on property that is an authentic Crow Indian Tipi that was set up by Crow Indians in a traditional Tipi Ceremony in 2020. Tipi has no electricity with four foldable twin cots. We do not recommend overnight sleeping as it is somewhat open to the elements, even with the solid wood floor. (Please note Tipi shares a bathroom with Glass House bunk room downstairs about 30 feet away). The Tipi is nestled between four trees and faces East, as tradition, for the sunrise. Each of the 15 poles has meaning - Obedience, Respect, Humility, Happiness, Love, Faith, Kinship, Cleanliness, Thankfulness, Share, Strength, Good Child Rearing, Hope, Ultimate Protection, Control Flaps from Wind.
