TEEPEE First, Teepees are useful for tribes to survive. I believe a teepee is important for a tribe to have. People need teepee that have shelter,comfort and protection. They need comfort because they don't want to sleep outside of their home or else they would be killed by animals. second of all, They would need protection because other people won't see them unless they let them come in. They also need protection because they won't t threat them.protection is important to this tribe because they need thiere own home. They can use the skin of a buffalo or a cow.So it can be strong. They need shelter so if it rains they won't get wet. Also they can have their privacy. They can customize their teepee by
