The Lakota Word tipi means "they dwell" and is notthe name of the buffalo-hide lodge used by that portion of the Sioux - it is simply a Word incorrectly applied historically. The Teton Lakotas called their homes by several names:

• tiikcheya
• tiphestola
• wakheya
• wizi
• tiowa (a painted tipi)
• wiowa (a painted tipi)
