Yuma villages consisted of low, round, domed, semi-subterranean structures - "pit houses". These were later replaced by square-shaped houses built of a framework of poles and covered with mud, mats of plant fibres and grass thatch. These were little more than arbours or sun shelters for each family, who spent most of their time outdoors.

The Mexicans called these pit houses jacales. Despite being river people the Yuma never made canoes, but sometimes used primitive rafts.
