What Kind Of Homes Do Shoshone Indians Live In?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Here i got this off of www.bigorrin.org Eastern and Northern Shoshones lived in the tall, cone-shaped buffalo-hide houses known as tipis (or teepees). Since the Shoshone tribe moved frequently as they gathered food, a tipi had to be carefully designed to set up and break down quickly, like a modern tent. An entire Shoshone village could be packed up and ready to move on within an hour. The Western Shoshones, who didn't do much hunting, built less portable wickiup homes. Here are some pictures of tipis, wickiups, and other Native American houses.
