The tepee offered several advantages to the hunters of the Great Plains. It was lightweight and easy to transport, making it ideal for nomadic lifestyles. It was also easy to set up and take down, allowing the hunters to quickly move to new hunting grounds. The tepee was also well-insulated, providing protection from the harsh weather of the Great Plains. Finally, the tepee was designed to provide good ventilation, allowing smoke from the fire to escape while still providing warmth.
