The Oto, Missouri, Ponca, Omaha, Kansa and other midwestern tribes used both earth lodges and tipis. The earth lodges were fairly permanent structures which could house several families (and sometimes their horses as well) and were similar to those built by the Pawnees, Arikaras, Mandans and Hidatsas further north and west.
Earth lodges were based on a large, shallow pit in the ground - about 2 feet deep and 40 feet across. In the centre would be a number of large upright posts to support the roof, with shorter uprights all around the circumference. Pole were then laid radiating from the central posts down to the ground; these were covered with branches, grass and then a thick layer of waterproof clay. A kind of porch was built on the east side and a smoke hole was left in the centre of the roof, above the central fire. There were individual sleeping places around the edge.
Oto tipis were generally small but just the same as those made by other Plains people - the Oto only used them for short periods when hunting away from their villages.
