An Indian longhouse is a traditional dwelling used by various Indigenous peoples of North America, particularly the Iroquois and some other tribes in the northeastern region. These structures are characterized by their elongated shape, often constructed from bark, wood, and other natural materials, and can house multiple families, reflecting communal living. Longhouses typically feature a central corridor with individual family compartments along the sides, emphasizing the importance of community and family ties in Indigenous cultures. They served not only as homes but also as centers for social and cultural activities.
