Why did native Americans of the great plains live and tepees instead of wooden houses?
Simply because of the lack of suitable timber. The Great Plains were a million square miles of grass and the only trees were cottonwoods and willows along the small streams and creeks; these are useless as building material. The natives had to travel long distances to obtain the lodgepole pines used for tipi frames, at constant risk of attack from enemies.
The early settlers on the Plains had the same problem, often building semi-underground "sod" houses of turves.
The Crow warrior Two Leggings remembered visiting an early trading post built near the Crow lands with his older brother. It was his first encounter with a wooden building and he could not understand how anyone could live in such a stuffy place with such a low roof. He was glad to get outside again.
