Kids - Learn how to make a Tepee from twigs and other household materials, just the way that Native Americans / Indians used to make them. Many Native American tribes made tepees (also called wigwams) from long tree limbs and animal hides. You can make a wonderful model tepee using a brown paper grocery bag and twigs. You can make this into an educational activity if you want to teach your children a bit about the Indians culture and history.
