Once all the poles are in position and tied the skin is then added. This is done by rolling up
the skin and tying it to a pole. We call this the lifting pole. This pole is then slotted into place and it also lifts the skin up to the tipi frame. The skin is then un-wrapped all the way around the frame. This picture shows Geoff at standing by the lifting pole whilst John unravels the skin around the frame. |
