What did Mohawk shelters look like?

TheMohawks lived in longhouses made of elm bark that were about 200 feet long. At each end there was a door with an emblem over it representing the clan. One longhouse would contain a clan, or extended family. There were separate rooms for each nuclear family (mother, father, and children). Out in the hallways there were storage shelves, and fireplaces every twenty feet. A longhouse contained up to about a hundred people. When there were too many people living in the longhouse, about half the family would break off and start their own longhouse. In Mohawk tribes a married couple would live with the bride's family and raise their children with them, so a longhouse would have one clan mother, the senior woman in the longhouse. This answer is just from the research I have done for a school project, but I and I am sorry if I got anything wrong.
