    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaqui Some info on the Yaqui
  • whiteclay said:
    Yaqui traditionally don't live in tipis. This shot had to have been set up. Plus the painting on the tipi is very unusual.
  • dhawktx1 said:
    If you view the larges size, you can see a traditional sun shade and wikiup behind the tent on one side, and another sun shade to the right.
  • tipi dweller said:
    I'm with whiteclay, this is not their actual dwelling. The info on the Yaqui says they farmed and lived in pueblas. That was not a nomadic, Plains lifestyle. Besides, where would the buffalo hides have come from to make the tipis? It's a complete disconnect.
  • skillful north said:
    But it is so typical of the time this was taken that "everyone" thought American Indians of any sort lived in tipis. Just as all females no matter the age were called girls.
