This will vary widely depending upon which Native People you are asking about. Those who lived in the eastern temperate forests typically lived in longhouses made of saplings intertwined with branches. On the Great Plains some of the People lived in tepees, conical houses of buffalo hide stretched over several long poles lashed together at the peak of the cone. Others lived in earthen mounds hollowed out and supported internally with wooden beams. In the desert southwest, the People lived in adobe/pueblo houses or in caves cut into the soft rock of canyon walls. The temperate forests of the northwest had housing similar to those of the eastern temperate forests - permanent structures build of wood, sticks and insulation.
