Kaya's Tepee
Kaya's Tepee was introduced to Kaya's Collection in 2002 and redesigned in 2010 before being retired as an individual set in 2014. Retail cost was originally $70. When the set was redesigned, the price was raised to $118. Its final retail cost before retirement was $125.
Tepee
Light brown faux buffalo hide attached to spine stick. Darker brown coloring at top to simulate the effect of smoke from fire. Light lines around hide to simulate the look of multiple animal skins sewn together. Dark brown cardboard base that folds for storage. Twelve separate construction sticks; these slide into holes in the base. Separate sticks include six side sticks, two flap sticks, one pair of back sticks, and one pair of front sticks. Ten wooden pins that are designed to look like faux porcupine quills; they are beige with dark brown ends. Only five fit in the holes above the entrance. Measurements for the first version of the tepee are 30” wide x 28” high x 26” deep.
The second version is a darker brown suede. It does not have a cardboard base and instead stands freely. Plastic sticks that prop it up are attached to the inside of the tepee hide with elastic. It is also significantly larger than the first version; measurements for the second version are 37" wide x 32" high x 37" deep.
Tule Mats
Two tule mats for the outside of the tepee. The second edition mats are a lighter brown shade than the original ones.
Wood Fire
Fake wood fire that lights up and makes crackling sounds. The original wood fire required two AA batteries, but the later edition wood fire requires three AA batteries.
