En el pasado, las cubiertas de tipis solía ser hecha de pieles de búfalo curtida. Hoy en día por lo general se hacen de lienzo. Pero al igual que en el pasado, pueden ser pintados con hermosos diseños que representan el propietario del tipi.

I hear Puerto Ricans use the word mamluco as kind of a derogatory slang but not real mean or offensive. Like "He's a real mamaluco." I never what it meant before. So it probably means kind of like a hick. - sagiia, Aug 22, 2010
I checked the dictionary. It also means idiot. - sagiia, Aug 22, 2010
