Did you
ever wonder where the Native Americans slept and lived? Well, now you
can stop wondering. They used tipis. A tipi is a kind of cone designed
tent. It is made simply from wood and cloth. Usually right outside of
a couple of tipi there would be a fire. This fire is to cook the animals
they find, to keep warm, and mostly for light. At night when it gets dark
that's when all the wild animals attack like bears. That's when the fire
comes in handy, as it keeps wild animals away. The heat from the fire
scares the animal and it doesn't go anywhere near the fire. When someone
had a virus or was very sick some Native Americans would go around the
woods looking for herbs to heal the person. The sick person would wait
in the tipi, and that's another use for the tipi. These diseases came
from animals. They are called plagues. The only way to heal it was with
herbs. Every time an animal was killed there was a new disease that came
from it.
