Teepees (or Tipis)
If your club is interested in making a teepee or tipi as a project here are several websites that have instructions on how to make them. You may choose to make a full sized one or a model. One website also outlines the proper etiquette of a tipi.
Or you may choose to make a model of another type of Native American dwelling. Remember when working with your Pathfinders on these projects to teach them about the tribe that the dwelling represents.
