Lodges were traditionally made out of various materials depending on the region and culture. For example, Native American lodges called tepees were made from animal skins, like buffalo hide, stretched over a framework of wooden poles. In other parts of the world, lodges may have been made from materials such as bark, grass, thatch, or mud.
Mandan earth lodges were constructed by first digging a round pit and then building a frame from wooden poles. The frame was covered with a layer of willow branches, followed by layers of grass and then earth. This construction technique provided insulation and stability for the lodges.
The grass dance is one that was used when the people were creating a new settlement on the long grass of the plains. Through this dance, the grass was flattened so that they could more easily place their lodges without doing long lasting damage to the earth. It is a beautiful dance!
