As an American I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Only reaction I have to the word is that it's a native American home. 🤷♀️

I was confused as to what "tipi" even ment then I was like "do they mean tepee?" Apparently "tipi" is another spelling of that word, I literally had to look it up. I've never seen it spelled that way b4 lmao 🤦♀️click to expand

Is it tipi or teepee?
The spelling tipi is the one most common in Canadian English whereas the spelling tepee is the most common one according to American English dictionaries and the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia

I do understand that it's closely related to very serious historical events in American history, but I was still surprised (and many non-americans with me) of some very strong reactions to the existence of the word in a fictional text. The word was used first to describe the home of a character and was henceforth used as in "He went home to his tipi."
Would you feel differently if the word was 'teepee' or 'tepee'?
