Native Homes

by Bobbie Kalman

This fascinating book looks at many of the lodges, or dwellings, built and used by the native nations across the continent. A map showing the lodges appears at the beginning of the book, and beautiful, detailed illustrations show the exteriors, interiors, and way of life in each lodge. The straightforward layout and informative text present information in an easy-to-follow format. Homes include:
• wigwams, longhouses, tipis
• southern thatch homes and the pueblos of the Southwest
• the plankhouses of the Northwest Coast
• earth lodges, pit homes, hogans, and iglus

Ages 8 – 12.
