Medicine Hat’s Saamis Teepee

Wednesday, 12th July 2006 by Alex

Here in Medicine Hat, Canada, you couldn’t possibly miss the Saamis Teepee. Designed for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary and moved here in 1991, it stands over 65 metres high - making Medicine Hat the proud owner of the world’s tallest teepee.

You just couldn’t make this stuff up could you?

Thanks to Allison.
