Introduction
Do this web quest if you don't want to investigate the Sand Creek Massacre (which is pretty depressing).

After the introduction of the horse onto the Great Plains, Native American nomadic groups developed iconic housing that we know as tipis. These houses were imbued with enormous cultural significance, and as cultural spaces shaped the lives of people who made them, lived and died in them.

Task
Read the attached pdf file. Its an abstract from a book by Carl Sweezy called 'The Arapaho Way'. Included in the file is a generalized diagram of a tipi taken from a reader's digest book (sorry didn't record the author or title). Using these and any other resources you can find, describe the interaction of architecture, life and culture of the tipi.

Method/Resources
Read the attached pdf http://www.colorado.edu/csilw/arapahoproject/traditional/trad.social.html http://www.watongapl.okpls.org/annotated_bibliography_of_cheyenne.htm

Results
Write a three to four page paper describing the architecture, life and culture of the tipi for the Arapaho. Use illustrations and diagrams to help make your points.
