In Kaya’s day, the Nez Perce people followed the salmon and buffalo, so their tepees were designed to be moved easily. During the day, a tepee serves as a gathering place for women of the tribe to weave, cook, and share stories. By night , Kaya’s whole family falls asleep to the sound of the crackling fire under the covering of this portable dwelling. Plan a sunrise to sunset day for Kaya in her tepee, which features:
Large design big enough for two dolls to easily fit inside
Easy setup—just spread tepee poles apart to pop it up, and easily take it down again for storage
A faux wood fire that lights up and makes “crackling” sounds
Two tule mats to place at the entrance of the tepee
A top flap that opens to let in sunlight or closes on rainy days
