North America's great southwest is actually home to four deserts: the Mojave (renowned as the hottest and driest), the Great Basin Desert, the Sonoran Desert, and (the largest) the Chihuahuan Desert.
Many natives were nomadic, making temporary homes near the small lakes and/or springs which would dry up in the summer heat. Then they would pack up and head for cooler climes, often in the hills, where natural shade could be found. They sometimes sought shelter in caves, or at the base of outcroppings.
At Oraibi, Arizona, the Hopi people built adobe and stone houses, that we know as pueblos.
The Pima people (near modern-day Phoenix, Arizona) built mud huts that utilized tree limbs as wall studs, much like a wickiup.
The Apache built hogan, wickiups, and tepees.
Some of the Western Shoshone lived in roofless grass huts.
