… It Was
"Dances with Wolves (1990) is the story of John Dunbar, a soldier living alone an abandoned fort in Dakota Territory. Despite a language barrier and comical attempts at stealing his horse, Dunbar and the nearby Lakota Sioux strike up a friendship. As their friendship grows, Dunbar becomes an honorary member of the community. The Lakota give him the honorary name "Dances with Wolves." Dances with Wolves got many things right (and some things wrong) about 1800s Lakota life, from tipi used in the hunting months to the seasonal relocation to another site. The film accurately shows the Lakota using a tipi. Tipis, for all their fame and how they've come to symbolize Native American architecture are a small part of the complex fabric of all Native American housing.

42, exactly. 😉 I hope most of us know of more than teepees. Those Aztecs, Maya and others had some pretty elaborate teepees. 😉 |

I'm Choctaw and live in a five bedroom, 3.5 bath house.  |

I live in Alabama and we had Chickasaw, Cherokee, Choctaw and Muskogee Creek nations here. I live in Talladega county which was part of the Creek Confederacy. Not a teepee in sight. |

Choctaw – 3.5 bath house? Doesn't all the water fall out the half bath…? |

Cerdicmy brother has a house appraisal company. Any bath without a bath tub counts only as a half. In some states having a shower does not count as a full bath.
So be careful if you revamp your tub by removing it for a walk in shower. |

Thanks TimePortal. In Britain we often call a bathroom without a bath a shower room. I'm still enjoying a mental image of Choctaw walking into his bathroom and finding a tub that has been sawn in half… |

Here in Iroquois country. It is common knowledge that the regional 5 nations resided in communal long houses sometimes protected by a palisade. |

Sometimes I live in a teepee. Sometimes I live in a wigwam. My doctor says that may be why I'm too tense…. |
