How do Eastern Woodlands make their houses?

Eastern Woodlands Indigenous peoples traditionally constructed their houses using materials readily available in their environment. They often built wigwams or longhouses using wooden frames covered with bark, reeds, or hides for insulation and protection from the elements. The designs varied based on the tribe and the specific region, reflecting their cultural practices and the climate. These structures were not only functional but also deeply connected to the community and spiritual life of the people.
