介绍（中）	美洲原住民的提皮有多种尺寸。从16世纪初旅行者报告的大型"皮帐篷"到三百年后儿童制作的帐篷，提皮人都被认为是平原人。建筑的独特特征标志着每一组建筑的形式，外部装饰也同样独特，个人经常专门绘制。战士的事迹和狩猎场景出现在小型提皮犬身上，大型提皮犬也会出现。提皮画中有土山、四个世界方向、天空、太阳和月亮、云朵和彩虹以及水牛和熊等备受尊敬的动物的象征。图像也可能来源于个人视觉由于大多数tipis都是平淡无奇的，所以绘画的例子尤其有意义。某些彩绘提皮具有与特定仪式相关的仪式意义。这样的提示使它们的主人免受灾难，并确保了好运。其中一些住宅里存放着药品包，对tipi和药品包的适当维护确保了整个社区的福利。拥有一个医药提皮是一种荣誉，但它有责任遵守所有与之相关的仪式。
介绍（英）	Native American tipis are made in many sizes. From the large “skin tents” reported by early sixteenth-century travelers to those made by children three hundred years later, tipis are identified with Plains peoples. Distinctive features of construction mark each group’s forms, and the ornamentation of exteriors was equally distinctive, with individual men frequently specializing in painting them. Warrior deeds and hunting scenes appear on small tipis, as they also do on large ones. Symbols of the earth—mountains, the four world directions, the sky, sun and moon, clouds and rainbows—and of animals held in high esteem, like buffalo and bear, are among tipi depictions. Images could also originate in personal visions. As the greatest number of tipis are plain, painted examples are particularly meaningful. Certain painted tipis had ritual significance relating to specific ceremonies. Such tipis kept their owners from calamity and ensured good fortune. Medicine bundles were kept in some of these dwellings, and the proper maintenance of the tipi and bundle ensured the welfare of the entire community. It was an honor to own a medicine tipi, but it came with the responsibility to observe all rituals associated with it.
