Tonkawa+Shelter

=Tonkawa Shelter= The Tonkawas lived in scattered villages of teepees, wikiups, or huts made from brush and grass. The teepees were tents made from buffalo hides. Teepees were used because of its major portability. Wikiups are round, domed shelters made out of sticks and grass. In cases of emergencies, the Tonkawas could pack up entire villages in less than an hour. The houses were carried by dogs on a travois because they had no horses. The Tonkawa indians were not a nomadic tribe because they had a plentiful amount of land nearby.
