Kwakiutl Plank House |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| The indigenous peoples who lived along the Pacific Northwest coast constructed rectangular houses covered with cedar planks. Many of these plank houses had brightly painted decorations and featured totem poles in front that served as family crests. This building is in British Columbia, but similar plank houses were built in what became the United States. | ||||||
