teepee?

Sadly, I did not have my camera with me to take a picture of the new structure under the arc at Grand Army Plaza*. However, there is a several story high conical structure made of wire mesh currently residing across the road from the BK central library. Perhaps this is the skeletal structure for a more "authentic" looking- larger-than life teepee that will be completed by Thanksgiving? If so, is this a random act of Native American awareness? Is this a government funded project? And why, UNDER the arc? wouldnt at least closer to the park, or near the botanical garden make more sense? Right now it kind of looks like
someone was trying to match the triangle in the oval space.



*you may be able to tell, but this is not a picture of a teepee taken in Brooklyn
