In the silent night of winter A forest of wonder awaits Where the snowflakes glitter And the stars illuminate
The trees are evergreen and tall They shelter the creatures below Who dance and sing and have a ball In the light of the moon’s glow
Among the animals and fairies There is magic in the air They share their stories and their berries And their secrets very rare
This is a place of mystery and delight A hidden realm of beauty and grace Where dreams come true and wishes take flight In the magical winter forest’s embrace
Native Americans used a variety of materials to make their tepees, but one of the most common was buffalo hide. They would use the hide to make the canvas for their tepees by stretching it over a wooden frame. The hides were typically tanned and dried before being used, which would make them more durable and resistant to the elements. Some tribes also used other materials such as cedar bark or grasses to make their tepees.
Certainly! Tepees, also known as tipis, were traditional dwellings used by many Native American tribes, particularly those of the Great Plains region. Here are some additional details about the materials and construction of tepees:
Buffalo Hide: The most commonly used material for tepee coverings was buffalo hide. The hides were obtained from hunting buffalo, which were a vital resource for Plains tribes. Buffalo hides were durable and provided excellent protection against the elements.
Tanning: Before using buffalo hides for tepee coverings, they underwent a tanning process. Tanning involved removing the hair and treating the hide to make it more pliable and resistant to decay. Different tribes had their own tanning methods, which often included soaking the hides in a mixture of water, brain matter, or other natural substances.
Structure: Tepees were conical in shape, with a frame made of long, flexible poles. The poles were usually made from wooden saplings or branches, which were bent and fastened together at the top to form a cone. The buffalo hide was then draped over the frame, forming the tepee’s covering.
Lacing and Adjustments: The edges of the buffalo hide were typically laced or tied together using strips of rawhide or other sturdy materials. These laces allowed for adjustments to be made to the tepee, such as tightening or loosening the covering to regulate airflow or accommodate smoke holes.
Insulation and Decoration: Inside the tepee, additional layers of buffalo hides or furs were often used for insulation and comfort. The inner walls of the tepee were adorned with colorful paintings, symbols, and personal or tribal designs, which added both aesthetic appeal and cultural significance.
It’s worth noting that while buffalo hide was commonly used, other Native American tribes in different regions utilized different materials for their dwellings. For example, tribes in the Pacific Northwest often constructed cedar plank houses, while tribes in the Southwest built adobe or stone structures.
The tepee was a versatile and practical dwelling, well-suited to the nomadic lifestyle of many Plains tribes. It could be easily assembled, disassembled, and transported to new locations as the need for hunting, gathering, or seasonal movements dictated.

It is a process of a product made from the surface of the planet. Every step of the process of making of the product is made from materials found on the surface of the planet. These materials that are found from the surface of the planet are sustainable, they are biodegradable meaning once the products lifespan is over they can go back to earth and decompose easily. These materials found on the surface of the planet are safe for the planet, planets people and its well being. These materials that are found on the surface of the planet have all the qualities needed to create a sustainable product. Hence the planet has these materials for us to create from. These materials that are grown on the surface do not harm the planets well being.
All synthetic fibers are made from fossil fuel, fracking and mining that are hazardous to the planet and our health and well being. So why is this allowed? Why does a ‘man’, ‘human’ have a need to create different from what is already created for us to live comfortably by the planet? Why do businesses and corporations feel they are entitled and have the right to harm the planet? Why arent they kept accountable? And why arent we demanding transparency truth of the processes? Questioning the businesses and corporations we work with or buy there services and products for there full transpqrency?
Polyester is made from petroleum that is obtained by fossil fuel mining practices. Businesses and corporations are labelling, certifying polyester, recycle polyester and all synthetic fibers as sustainable why? Fossil fuel, mining, fracking is not a sustainble practice. And must be stopped immediately and any product nade from it. The certifying agencies claim it is safe for humans and why are they prioritizing the need, want of a ‘human’ before the planets need, want, requirement? Dont you think logically if we take care of the planet the people will be taken care of? Why are they separating planets needs and the people needs? Have you actually truly seen there recycling processes? And what they are telling you is actually the truth? Are they true to there word on doing the recycling sustainably? No they are not. There have been no codes, no certificate for planet based surface materials why? All of these ways of practicing is by law a felony a crime to misguide the consumers and must be held responsible for there false marketing and false information to the consumers. They must be held accountable to clean up the planet for the mess they have made.
