Indigenous people from around the world have used canvas as a natural breathable material, with suitable properties for use in the elements. Canvas is durable and versatile. Today's modern canvas can be [[waterproof]], [[Rot-proof|mildew resistant]], and [[flame retardant]].
A version of the bell tent, the [[sibley tent]] was invented by [[Henry Hopkins Sibley]], who had studied the [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] [[tipi]] during the expeditions he carried out in the [[American Old West]]
The bell tent is characteristically different to the sibley tent by its walls, raised larger entrance and guy ropes, without the telescopic tripod or smoke hole, which were characteristics of the tipi.
