There are five major tribes in the Southwest: Apache, Hopi, Navajo, Pueblo and Zuni. Most of these were farmers who lived in villages and made pottery or carved dolls. Their shelters depended on where they lived and what was readily available.

  • Some of these people were cliffdwellers living in homes made with mud, sticks and stones in an apartment-like organization.
  • Others lived in pueblos which were the adobe (mud) houses not associated with cliffs, but were built on the desert.
  • The Navajo lived in hogans built out of tree material and sometimes hides.
  • The Apache built wickiups which was a wooden frame covered with brush, and for added protection a buffalo hide.
