What are some of the materials anishinabe people used to make tipis?

Anishinabe people traditionally constructed tipis using materials readily available in their environment. The framework was typically made from wooden poles, often from trees like pine or birch, which were shaped and assembled to create a conical structure. The covering was made from animal hides, particularly from buffalo or deer, or sometimes from woven mats of plant materials, providing insulation and protection from the elements. These materials were chosen for their durability and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
