As a Native American I have been asked more than once if I live in a teepee by other Americans. I often respond that I do but it has doors and windows and running water and we call it a house.
Tipis are an extremely smart and comfortable way of living tho, in my opinion. I’d prefer it to owning a house if there was a way to legally do that. Unfortunately some guys came along and stole all the land, so now I have to pay them most of my income I made from working the industries that they built and own in order to survive in a bleak existence where seeing pigeons and rats counts for the majority of my daily interaction with nature.

Holy shit the low levels of both education and curiosity in the USA are embarrassing.

You’d prefer living in a tent over a climate controlled space with running water and sewer?
