TIPI LIFE

I lived in two tipis between 1975 and 1977.   The first tipi was a sixteen foot Sioux Indian design, made of canvas and hand made cedar polls.  The tipi was made by John Bacon, who lived in it with his family in the early seventies.    Randy Payne and I purchased the tipi from John, when he moved to a more traditional type of housing.   The second tipi was an eighteen foot Sioux Indian design, made out of canvas and store bought cedar poles, owned by John Ho..     Both tipis were located in the Southerland Mountains of New Jersey.   Below are some photos of myself, and Randy Payne, who lived with me in the sixteen foot tipi.     Also are some photos of good friends.
