Authentic Handmade Tipis

Welcome to Western Canvas website!  We hope to provide you with all the necessary information you need to know to make an informed choice about purchasing a tepee.  Our philosophy is and always has been to provide a complete product to our customers while maintaining the historical aspect of this nomadic culture which we admire, and we endeavor to provide historically accurate information about this nomadic lifestyle.  When you consider purchasing a tipi you can know that everything you need to set up your tepee is already included in our pricing. As an added bonus we include our recently converted  How To Set Your Tipi  DVD  along with written instructions. We encourage you to call us any time during our business hours (M-F 9-5 MST) to help walk you through your on site set up. Please feel free to call us any time.  We are here to help you!

While tipis (teepee, tepee) exhibit a pictorial history of Plains Indian life and represent a symbol of the American West, they remain contemporary. We blend the popular theme of Western Design with authentic reproduction to create livable and instructional tipis (teepees, tepees), equally at home in suburban backyards and world renowned museum collections.

Our success is based on maintaining the authenticity of our tipis, which are patterned after original Native American designs. Our tipi construction methods are researched through conventional sources, such as libraries and other resource centers. We also contact tribal elders and other knowledgeable Native Americans when necessary, to acquire the additional knowledge and guidance we demand, to replicate our tipis as precisely as possible. In striving to preserve the historical aspect of the tipi art of the West, they feature on their tipis the painting talents of Blackfeet elder George Kicking Woman and Al Chandler, a Gros Ventre Native American, both from Montana.
