If the issue is cultural appropriation, then please, lets use the
those terms instead.
I personally don't think that the utilization of tipi in the narrow
context of representing community is a particularly egregious form of
cultural appropriation. That said, if someone proproses a replacement
that more elegantly represents community, by all means change it.
