MANATAKA TIPIS

Manataka Tipis feature both the traditional Sioux style and the classic egg-shape characteristic of the Cheyenne style to the rear, giving the floor its unique shape.  This results in giving the owner more usable floor space than most other teepees.

Backed by our master craftsman's 3-year materials guarantee, and lifetime workmanship warranty.  Includes complete instructions for set-up and care.

There is no comparison to our price,  selection, craftsmanship and quality materials.
