Ceremonial Design Teepee
Ceremonial Design Teepee – A Sacred Journey Through Symbolism
The Ceremonial Design Teepee represents the mythical journey of the shaman, a path of transformation, wisdom, and deep connection with the natural and spiritual worlds.
At the base of the teepee, the Black Hills symbolize the earthly realm where the journey begins. A red pinning stripe marks the shaman’s ascent, leading through the Many Moons Band, which represents celestial guidance. The path continues through the Rattlesnake Band, a symbol of deep trust in Mother Earth and the interconnectedness of all living things.
The journey culminates in the realm of the Great Mystery, represented by an unfinished pyramid of white circles, where the shaman receives sacred wisdom and spiritual insight.
Handcrafted with the finest materials, this teepee is more than a structure—it’s a story in canvas, honoring ancient traditions and the timeless connection between earth and sky. Available in Bright Paint and Antique Wash, it brings authenticity, beauty, and meaning to any landscape.

Lodge Pole Pines
Lodge Pole Pine grows in the northwestern states and most of our poles come from Montana.
Transporting Your Poles
Most poles can be transported on your SUV, van or truck if you have the suitable rack for it.
A set of 17 x 24 ft. long poles weighs approx. 450 lbs. and a set of 20 x 27 ft. long poles weighs roughly 600 lbs.
Inspect For Damage
Please be present to receive your poles, as drivers are not required to assist with the unloading. Count the poles and inspect them for major damage.
Normal Wear
Please note that small cracks and checks (a lengthwise separation of the wood as a result of the drying process) are perfectly normal in tipi poles. Dirt and scuff marks may happen during transportation, but cannot be claimed as damage.
More Than a Teepee: Giving Back with Every Purchase
Each Tipi we offer is part of something bigger. Every purchase contributes to a range of initiatives rooted in cultural respect, environmental responsibility, and meaningful collaboration with Native American communities.
Tipi covers are regularly donated to Native American non-profits, elders, and community leaders, with the deepest discounts reserved for those directly connected to the culture. Organizations such as Red Cloud Renewable, a 100% Native American–run nonprofit on the Pine Ridge Reservation, are among the key beneficiaries. Red Cloud Renewable works to revitalize sacred sites and local ecosystems through the planting of ponderosa pine, cottonwood, and fruit trees. As of 2023, there is also a partnership with One Tree Planted to ensure that one tree is planted for every tipi pole sold—directly on Indigenous land.
In addition, 1% of annual tipi sales are donated to vetted environmental organizations through 1% for the Planet, and the makers are certified by Green America, adhering to rigorous standards for sustainable and ethical business practices.
All untreated base materials used in these tipis are GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton, selected to reduce environmental harm and support healthier, more independent livelihoods for cotton farmers in India. While the Sunforger® treatment used for durability prevents full organic certification of the final product, the sourcing decision reflects a strong commitment to sustainability.
While we’re not the operators of these programs ourselves, we’re proud to align with makers who uphold these values—and honored to offer products that contribute to cultural preservation, environmental renewal, and responsible business.
