Native American Tipi

A hide tipi, those are rare! Not sure if the setup is authentic. The smoke flaps look strangely loose and the pegging looks wrong, too. . Indians would rather take a pebble, press it against the hide from the inside and tie around it from the outside, thus creating a solid bulge on the outside. Around this bulge they would then tie a thong and that thong would be tied around a peg. The peg would never pierced through the precious tipi cover itself.
