Shelter

 

      The indians of the southwest resided in many different types of homes. The Navajo resided in homes called hogans which are made up of logs as poles and bark as walls. The Anazi lived in homes called cliff dwelings. The cliff dwelings were made out of the side of a cliff. The most common type of indian home found in the southwest is a pueblo. A pueblo is made of stones placed in mud and then covered with more mud. The pueblos do not have any windows or doors. The way to get in and out of them is to climb through a hole in the roof. 1.
