The Pacific Northwest Indians primarily constructed their plank houses using large cedar trees, which were abundant in the region. They would split the cedar into planks, utilizing the wood's natural durability and resistance to decay. These plank houses were often large, communal structures that could accommodate multiple families, reflecting the social organization of the tribes. The use of cedar also provided insulation and protection from the harsh coastal climate.
