When a porpoise is searching for a mate, it swims upside-down. Along the Robeson Trail by Dr. Stanley Knick, Director, Native American Resource Center, UNCP Last week we saw that, despite popular misconceptions, the lipi was mostly confined to the Indian cultures of the Plains and was more widely used after the introduction of Luropcan horses than it was before. What kinds of structures were used among the various other Native American nations? Apparently the only general rule concerning traditional Native architecture was that the structures had to be suited to the local environment ? both in form, and in the construction materials used As with the indigenous people of traditional cultures in every continent, Native people here knew the weather and the seasons very well. People who lived in die consistently wannest parts of the continent built well-ventilated structures. In California, for example, two types were common. One was a conical building made by leaning poles together and then connecting the poles with a loose thatch of reeds or grass. The floor of such a structure would often be dug out two feet down into the cool earth, and the presence of two openings (a smoke hole and a door) would encourage a ?o ihroueh. 1 he other common structure in California was little more than an arbor ? a rectangular roof with no walls, supported by corner poles. As with most traditional Native American structures, these were made with materials readily available in the local environment. Native American people who lived in the consistently coldest parts of the continent made well-adapted structures, too. The cultures most people know as "Eskimo" (who are more properly known by their own names, such as Aleut, Inuit. Inupiak, Netsilik, etc., and who are genetically distinct from "Indians") built various houses depending on where in the Arctic they lived. In most of north-central Canada, the typical winter home was the well known igloo, or snow bouse. This was made from large blocks of hard-packed snow, cut into exact forms so that they would fit together in a spiral which when completed produced a domeshaped house. A small opening through a narrow passageway then opened into the single room of the igloo, which had a raised central platform. This combination of packed snow blocks, small opening, narrow passageway and raised living platform acted to preserve the heat generated inside by small whale- or seal-oil lamps and made the temperature inside comfortable. In summer, tents covered with caribou skin were more practical. Elsewhere in the Arctic, people made different structures. In mainland Alaska, northeastern Canada and Greenland, where there were a few more trees, people made structures from logs, stones and earth. Joists were sometimes made from whale ribs, and these houses also bad the familiar raised central living platform to make the people more comfortable. On the Aleutian Islands where there were even more trees, the Aleuts built pit houses using logs packed with earth. Next week we will turn to other structures built by Native Americans in traditional times.
