The Chumash Shelter (the ap)

The Chumash shelter was built out of willow poles with a hole on top covered with dry grass (called tulle). The houses were 12-20 feet tall and the chief's house was up to 30 feet tall. When it rained they covered the opening of their ap with animal skin or more tulle. The Chumash chose this design because if something (like rain) hit it, it would slide down to the floor.
