The Native Americans who lived on the Plains made great use of their most important resource, the buffalo. They built these movable shelters out of buffalo hide and sticks.
Other types of structures found on the Midwest Plains included Wickiups and Earth Lodges. The natural resources of the Plains were often limited to grass, branches and mud, so the Native Americans used these items to build their dwellings.
In the Southwest, two different types of shelters were found depending on the location. Hogans were small dome-shaped dwellings built of mud and sticks. Pueblos were apartment-like shelters constructed of adobe, sun-dried clay shaped into bricks. |
