| The conical shelter known as wigwam has been used by the Eastern Woodland Indians for millennia. The wigwam was a pole frame covered with large sheets of birch bark. When tribes such as the Sioux, Arapaho and Cheyenne moved to the Great Plains, they had to adapt their wigwam to a new way of life. Birch bark was not longer available, it was replaced by buffalo hides. Smoke flaps were also added to keep winds from blowing into the tipi. The tipi was a comfortable shelter. It could be taken down quickly, packed onto a travois, and put up again elsewhere in no time. The traditional tipi is not a true cone, it is tilted, leaning back a little. Its floor plan is shaped much like an egg, longer from back to entrance, shorter from side to side. The location of fireplace is off-center, closer to the door, leaving more useable space at the back of the lodge. There are several known tipi styles, some are based on a 3-pole foundation, others have a 4-pole foundation. One last comment about the teepee! This is not like any other tents. Fact is, it is more like a sanctuary, a connection to Mother Earth, please treat your tipi accordingly! Hand Made, Well Made, Strong Made. Part of the tipis made in Canada directory. Products:

| The Fort McPherson Tent and Canvas Shop started as a government project in 1970 and continued in that manner until 1990. Today the Canvas Shop, as it came to be known across the North, is a successful business, employing 17 producers on both a full and part-time basis. Fort McPherson Tent and Canvas Shop is located above the Arctic Circle in a Gwich’in community of approximately 800 people. The factory attests to the skills local native people have been employing for generations making moccasins and traditional clothing. Today, a wide array of durable and practical arctic tough items are available, including canvas wall tents, tipis, attaché bags, backpacks, duffle bags, and portfolios. Only the best materials are selected, which when coupled with the superior craftsmanship, results in high quality products able to survive in the harshest climates.

| Originally a part-time, home-based sewing machine repair service, Sewn Home gradually began finding and restoring old industrial sewing machines which allowed the business to expand into manufacturing. Very quickly, tents and tipis became our specialty. We now operate a full-scale facility with a growing staff and line of products. Sewn Home practices and promotes environmental responsibility: We reduce our scrap material to near zero using CAD software and spreadsheets to pattern all our products efficiently, and we design all our products to last as long as possible. We believe it is important to combat waste on all fronts. Part of the tipis made in Canada directory. Products:
