Our TipisHistoryPricingAccessoriesFAQ

 

Old West Tipis is a Nez Perce family owned business located in the heart of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation in North Central Idaho.

For the last two decades we have specialized in repairing and restoring old tipis and building new tipis patterned after ancient plateau family designs.

Now for the first time we are offering our composite re-creations to
the general public.

~~This is our hobby and our passion~~

 



 

 

 

 

 

All tipis are made from 11.45-ounce mildew resistant, spark retardant, UV
resistant Sunforger.
Extensive experimentation has proven to us that it is superior
although we have made many tipis from materials furnished to us by customers. The tent
peg loops are made with durable poly webbing. All edges are fully hemmed and double stitched. All stress areas are reinforced with leather. Each of our tipis comes furnished
with lacing pins, door and a tarp to wrap the tipi in.

Should you want your tipi to be painted by one of our Nez Perce Tribal Artists
we would be happy to contact one of them for you.
We are not a factory and we
market no canvas products other than the plateau styled tipis. We will make any size
of a Plateau style tipi. If you want a Lakota styled tipi there are many offered elsewhere.
If you want a Nez Perce or Plateau style tipi custom made for you by a reservation
family then call
OLD WEST TIPIS.
