Extra Credit Week 3

Teepees and wigwams are two types of traditional Native American houses. Wigwams were used by the Algonquins. They were small, dome, cone, or rectangular shaped houses, usually about 10 feet tall. Wigwams were made of wooden frames which were covered with woven mats and sheets of birchbark. Teepees were cone-shaped houses covered in animal hide (skin) made by the Plains Indians.

Name another type of house and describe what it looked like and who lived there.

Grass houses are American Indian homes used in the Southern Plains by tribes such as the Caddos. They resemble large wigwams but are made with different materials. Grass houses are made with a wooden frame bent into a beehive shape and thatched with long prairie grass. These were large buildings, sometimes more than 40 feet tall. And i addmit i did copy and paste this because i did not want to write it.
