The houses the Southwest Indians

stayed in were variable from longhouses, to

tepees, to igloos, or in my opinion the coolest houses that they had which are wigwams, they are houses for

people who stay in the same place for months

at a time. Most Algonquain lived

together in settled villages during the

farming season, but during the winter, each

family group would move to their own

hunting camps.

out of buffalo or other animals intestines dried out,

the fletching out of eagle and hawk feathers, they used metal if they could

find it for the arrowheads, but they mainly used flint or

rock.
