A traditional Indian tipi

A Native American way of shelter was something called a wikiup or a tipi. The tipi was excellent source of warmth due to its rounded structure.

In some advanced forms of tipi's fire were also able to be built in the interior of the tipi! Rain or snow would repel from he tipi from its steep wall system. The tipi can be formed from driftwood that is wide and very long. You will need lots of this deadwood to create this indian shelter.
