The Navajo people did not live in "huts". The lived in log homes called hogans in English and hooghan. The two o's make it a longer O and the gh is a sound made in the back of your throat. Hogans always face east and are generally 6 or 8 sided or sometimes round. The log roof dome is created by corbeling of the logs. Mud or earth is used to plaster the gaps between logs and to cover the whole roof to make it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The is a smoke hole in the center or now days a stove pipe. They are still used by some people today are are also used for traditional Navajo ceremonies. Sometimes today they are build with modern American building materials. The library at Dine' College is built as a two story mirrored one and the Tribal Counsil chambers is also shaped like a hogan. Each part of the hogan has symbolic meaning and is described in the stories about Changing Woman.
