The Native American tipi is a doorway to intimacy – not only intimacy with Nature, but with yourself as well. For us, making tipis is an attempt to help steward and guide individuals, and our society, towards a deeper respect for Nature, and for a kind of reverence for Nature that has been long exhibited by all native cultures. We believe that our success as a business comes not despite of our ethical accountability, but because of it. Each year our company makes ongoing financial donations to Native American and environmental organizations including providing college scholarships for Native American women and planting a new tree on an Indian Reservation for every tipi pole we sell.
