Even though the Lakota tribe is on the move following the herd the lay out remains the same. Camp fire is in the middle while the tipis are on a ring around it with there horses tied up. People agther to eat there meals and tell stories here.
The Tipi circle is a ring of the homes of the Lakota peoples. When a family is stared the woman will make their home from animal hides and wood. A tipi is generally 12 feet high. When it is time to move and follow the herd the woman is in charge of carting the broken down tipi. (When you make your tipi please look up info on it before you start making it. Remember be descriptive!)
The river encloses almost the entire tribes land so no matter where the tribe follows the herd then can find the river. Rocks and herbs and flowers grow along side and there are plenty of fish in the river as well. Through a net in and you are bound to catch fish.
In the winter camp site Lakotas camp is near an old sweet gum tree that has big struck by lighting but is still standing. It is stripped of bark and all leaves from when it hit and stories are always told to little children about how the ligthing spirit got made and struck the tree
Some where around the outside of the forest is a hidden whole big enough to swallow a buffalo. No one knows how deep it is and no one has lived to tell the tale of where it is.
In the west of Lakotas land lies a mountain range. Though it only has two mountain and a REALLY big hill it is still beautiful to watch the sunset behind it. There is also a huge cave in it and that is where the tribe stays during the fall. There is no need for tipis here.
