Native people made structures which

type of architectou is tbe pueblo
Pueblos were Mb by southwestern
farmiug cultures from stone sad
adobe (mud), and sometimes out of
sun-dried mud bricks. Logs were
incorporated as rafters. Rooms were
built next to and on lop of eacb
other, terraced back so that (be whole
at the bottom. Rooms for living and
storage were usually rectangular.
mad special ceremonial moms were
round (widely known by the Hopi
word brio). Many of the rooms had
small side-entry doors, but first-floor
rooms and dm carrmonial kivas were
entered from above by cbmbing down
a ladder through a hole in the roof
Some of these massive "apartment
buildings" were originally built on
canyon floors, although in later
year* other* were bwik into the tides I
of tugh cliffs and on lap of mesas.
Bat pueblos aren't the only type I
of nrcMtocturc to the Southwest. <
Outside Ike pueblos lived other :
aource of food was hooting and
gathering (and raiding) instead of
speaking people nude use of variooa
structures depending on which gamp
tbey belonged to and what season *
happened to be. Many of them built
domed lodges with willow poles
(sometimes wid> cactus ribs) insulated
and reinforced with earth. The Pima.
in particular also built rectangular
storage buildings from similar
materials. Almost all of these non
pueblo people made open-sided,
pole-and-brush, rectangular structures
for daytime and warm weather
activities.
The Athabaskan-spcaking
Apache and Navqjo people were late
comers to the Southwest, and their
architecture differed from group to
group. Some eastern Apaches came
into dose contact with some Plains
people, and they built lipis in the
evolved after the introduction of
tones). Western Apaches built
aval, domed hots from brash sad
pass, widely known by the Algonkian
word wtkiup
Navajo people built their
traditional structures (thee word is
Hogtm) in two types. The older style
was made with earth covering a
framework of iaterlocking poles.
The newer style (in areas where there
was more abundant wood) was buik
with horizontal lop arranged on kip
of each other in a polygonal shape,
with a roof made of dirt and logs.
Navajo people also built the familiar
rectangular arbors or ramadas for
some activities.
In the next segment of Aloog The
Robeson Trail we will turn to the
structures built in the long-ago time by
Native Americans in the Great Basin,
on the Northwest Coast and in the
Eastern Woodlands. For more
information about early Native
American architecture, visit the
Native American Resource Center in
Old Main Building, on the campus of
Pembroke State University.
