Native American Homes Answer Key 

Below are suggested answers for each of the questions. 

1.  Native Americans used natural resources that were 
    around them to make their homes. For example, if 
    they lived in the forest, they would use wood for their 
    homes.

2.  The Eastern Woodland longhouse and the Northwest
      wooden lodges are alike because each is rectangular 
      with a barrel shaped roof and could be covered by 
      bark sewn together.  They are also similiar because 
      the homes were shared by many families.

3.  The Southwest homes are like the apartment buildings
     we have today.

4.  In order to construct a tepee, a Native American 
     would have to follow these directions.  First, fasten
     the long wooden poles together at the top.  Then 
     spread the poles out to form a circle.  After that, 
     cover the tepee form with animal skins and then 
     fasten them to the ground.
