Hogans are what traditional Navajo homes are called. In Navajo they are spelled hooghan. They all face east, most are six or eight-sided or round. These kind are called "female" hogan. They were usually made with logs and the roof of logs or the whole building was covered with earth for insulation. The "male" ones are very rare today and have a pointed top more like a small tepee of logs covered with dirt. Today, some Navajo still have hogans, mostly for ceremonies but some are still lived in. Most people lived in regular US style homes or in mobile homes. There are 300,000 Navajo and they are very individualistic so there is a lot of variation.
