It must be this way, because anyone who once crosses the step of a tipi
wants to come back again and again. That's the magic about it.
since
others took advantage of this opportunity and earn money on villages
why it cannot be you making the profit?
that
we make the village for you, all you need to arrange is place, funds
and trust us this is really great business.
If you already own a hotels, health
resort or agricultural farm, Indian Village can only enrich your
prestige on the market.
Indian village is also a great idea to start up such
entrepreneurship
Indian villages have recently become
more and more popular. It's because of the widespread notion of getting
back to nature. Tipi guarantees a unique atmosphere and anyone, who has
spent at least a moment inside it will be amazed. Simple
construction, mobility, burning fire or electric stove - imitation of
fire, and great party atmosphere make people more than willing to come
back. It also serves as a sleeping place. It is waterproof, so even
during the rain it stays dry and linen is impregnated from rotting. A
tipi can be stored outdoor all year round.
There a number of ways how to make
profit on such activities. Tipi composes great with agricultural
farms, resorts, hotels, studs and camping places. Its attractiveness
gains attention of thousands of clients.
Indian villages can interesting
leisure places and Indian museums.
Indian Village...
as
a leisure place
A Village as a leisure place with a
possibility to stay over night gain greater support worldwide. They can
be seen by camping places, hotels and various resorts. Even
agricultural farms, who already offer accommodation, provide tipi as an
extra attraction for tourists. A night spent in a tipi is
unforgettable, glittering fire, raindrops falling on the linen, but
never inside, shadows on the walls and this vast space. It all
makes people come back to cherish again this magnificent atmosphere.
Indian Village...
as
a museum
This type of a village requires greater
effort, but also brings huge profits. Museum requires rebuilding some
part of the history that is already gone, to show to others. That's why
in this kind of tipi, the village needs to be furnished with all
accessories resembling old Indian village. A person, who is in
charge of the village, should have a basic knowledge about Indians to
be able to pass it on to the participants. Other attractions such
as horse riding, playground for children in Indian style or food can be
offered and by this create an entertainment center in the village.
Such centers will attract school trips, individual and group tourists.
One can introduce entrance fee (tickets) and by this increase profits
from running such business
How many tipi
and
how to organize it?
Number of tipi, which is accurate in
this village, is quite an individual thing. There can be from 5 to
40 pieces of tipi of different kind in one village. It all depends
on the purpose of a given tipi.
Tipi as accommodation.
The most popular size of the tipi is
5,5 meters or 6 meters high.
Tipi furnishing
Just as at home, plain walls will not
create an atmosphere. The spirit of a certain place comes with little
things that create it. Accessories that are worth buying are as follow:
Wooden floor - like in home
Chests - for keeping clothes
Beds - with good mattress covering by nice blanket
Table and chairs - for good resting during the day
Electric stove - imitation of fire instead real fire
to be sure about safety
Lights - for making amazing atmosphere during the
night
Tipi painting
This is an element that changes tipi
into a masterpiece. Such painted tipi looks just unbelievably. It
works also as an advertisement. You can choose from
original Indian patterns but also have an original pattern designed by
an artist.

TIPI
Planning a village.
Budget will be the factor, which will
influence our decision upon selection of elements to our village.
Firstly, I will present the basic option, which can be adjusted to
individual needs.
A base village with 5 Tipis
A village of five tipi makes a good
base for further development, but such constellation itself makes
also good impression.
Indian village should be make as a circle. For more than 5 Tipis the
village can be made like big circle or as a few thematic circles.
Thematic circles of Tipi
Indians believe that each elementals have his own spirits. Spirits of
water, fire, air and earth helps The Indians to live in pursuance of
nature. Indians paint theirs Tipis using symbols and colors acording to
how they feel an elementals and its symbols.
WATER ELEMENTAL CIRCLE
The spirits living in water represents
an animals which live in the water such as different kind of
fishes, turtle, whale etc. The colors on the Tipis are blue;
sometimes light blue represents calm, sometimes dark blue represents an
anger of water. Water circle represents a women because each life
starts in water and similar every human life starts inside the woman.
That's why water circle was settle down mostly by the woman. Every
Tipi represent waman as well. Indians believe that every day when
you wake up and go outside the Tipi is like born again. The man who
hunt for a fishes or in some regions for a whales live in water circle
as well.
EARTH ELEMENTAL CIRCLE
The spirits living on earth represents
all animals which live on the ground. Deers, horses, elks, bears,
mooses and the most important animal for Indians: buffalo. The
buffalo allows Indians live on the Great Plains. The hides were used
for making Tipi cover and clothes, meat from one buffalo was enough for
a few families, bones were used for making tools. The colors on the
Tipis in Earth circle were brown, green, yellow, orange and red
(especially kind of red color gain from root called "ochre"). The earth
circle were settle down by hunters. They paint on Tipi symbols of their
protected animals or scenes from hunting.
AIR ELEMENTAL CIRCLE
The air circe was represents by
animals living in the air such as different kind of birds or
dragon-fly. The most important bird for Indians was the eagle.
Indians believe the eagle is Creator's messenger. Each man who wear
eagle feather on his hair have a permission to ask for help to the
Creator. Eagle's feather was granted for brave in the battle or during
the hunting. For Cheyenne the dragon-fly was the symbol of speed,
changes and hurricane wind. They paint this symbol on Tipis very
often to protect from hurricane and paint the symbol on horses.
Thunderbird symbol was very often painted on Tipi. In summer time on
Great Plains storms and cyclone appears very often. Indians believe Thunderbird
was supernatural. When he move the winds makes whe wind with thunders,
when he flash the eyes make the lightings, there is great lake on his
back cause heavy rain with strong wind, lightings and thunders. The
colors on the Tipis in Air circle were different tone of blue
(represent color of the sky) and red (represent runrise and sunset).
FIRE ELEMENTAL CIRCLE
Fire circle is the place where people
gathering for different kind of ceremonies. That's why they paint on
the bottom of the Tipi symbols of peoples. Dominant color is red
as the symbol of fire. Fire is sacred. Indians gathering together near
the fire place and singing songs, dancing and making many ceremonies.
They believe that fire connect the people. They put dry sage
leaves into the fire because they belive that good spirits like sage
smell. Indians paint on Tipi symbols of the sun, buffalo skulls (they
believe that buffalo was a gift from the Sun Spirit).
GEOMETRICAL ELEMENTAL CIRCLE
Mostly geometrical Tipis were
sacred one. The Indians change everything in nature into symbols.
The circle represent the sun, triangles represent the mountains, zigzag
can represent water, snake or lizard. Even the emotions was change into
symbols. Straight line can represent gost of the Earth or strong will,
V shape lines can represent the leader, cross symbol represent man and
cross with circle woman. Different combination of the cross can
represent proof, stabilization or compassion. The triangles in
different variation can represent things like mountains or hills or
attributes like wisdom, trust, inspiration. Circles have many meaning.
Sometimes represent sun or moon and sometimes love, strong, empathy or
family. By combination diffeerent geometrical shapes Indians can
tell every story.
An extended village
-
a museum
An extended Indian Village is a
serious endeavor but it can bring profits as well. Such village
becomes both a museum (a reconstruction) of Indian village but also an
attraction enthusiastically visited by school trips and summer camps.
With additional attractions (like horse riding, barbeque with sausages,
a playground, and other agricultural attractions) it resembles an
entertainment center. In the village, summer camps for kids or
integration parties for companies can be organized.
Additional elements distinguish the
village from the village with 5 tipi. They give it an Indian character:
totems, reconstruction on an Indian sweatlodge and a replica of a
handicraft.
TOTEMS
Although Indians from Great Plains lived in Tipis did not know the
totems (it was made by
Seaside Indians - Haida) in the modern time many Indian Villages join
an expiration of two
differen culture, because the Tipi and the Totem are the greatest
symbols of Indians culture.
Only a few artists in Europe can make real good totem.
Our artist
have 15 years experience in
making totems in Canada. He was instructed by native people from
reservation. To make a
good totem expect great knowledge about symbolism using on totems.
We offer 2 options with totem style. Old style - these are replicac of
original Haida totems or
New style - totems inspired of indiasns culture. Totems can be natural
or painted.
SWEATLODGE - INDIAN SAUNA
One of the most common structural forms of the sweat lodge is based on
the wigwam: a dwelling common among the Indian nations of the
Northeast. Basically, the wigwam had a frame of bent saplings which
resemble an inverted bowl.
The lodge is made of tree limbs and
covered with a canvas. It is a quite sturdy structure and generally
sealed with rocks around the perimeter to keep in the heat.
Hot stone are put into a hole inside the sweatlodge. For wet sauna
rocks are watering. Good effect is use some dry herbs on rock, for
example sage.
Typical use of a sweat lodge would be that of four rounds each lasting
30 to 45 minutes. At the end of each round, the door would be open and
the individuals would step out. After the last spot users shuold jump
into cold water.
REPLICA OF INDIAN HANDICRAFT
To show how the life looked like many years ago, at least one tipi
should be equipped with a couple of Indian exhibits (Indian armchair,
hides for the floor, war shields, drums, war shirts, dress, moccasins).
Indian outfits are an extra attraction as you can wear
them to take photos with tipi in the background.
