Iroquois Longhouse |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| The Iroquois nations of Eastern North America built dwellings called longhouses from saplings, usually of willows. Several related families lived together in a single extended house. Each family unit had its own space. This reconstructed longhouse is in Iroquois County, New York. | ||||||
