As a Native American I have been asked more than once if I live in a teepee by other Americans. I often respond that I do but it has doors and windows and running water and we call it a house.
Tipis are an extremely smart and comfortable way of living tho, in my opinion. I’d prefer it to owning a house if there was a way to legally do that. Unfortunately some guys came along and stole all the land, so now I have to pay them most of my income I made from working the industries that they built and own in order to survive in a bleak existence where seeing pigeons and rats counts for the majority of my daily interaction with nature.
