Teepee Indians lived in Teepee’s because they were easy to move. Indians were hunters who lived on plains. Their homes had to be mobile so that they could move to where there food moved to.

Wigwam The wigwam was a round shelter used by many different Native American cultures in the east and the southeast.

Kivas The Native Americans of the Southwest such as the Anasazi and the Pueblo, lived in structures made out of semicircular masonry. These shelters were primary built on cliffs with large shallow caves. The villages of the Southwest are known for their great attention to detail and to the landscape of the region. Circular subterranean chambers known as "kivas" were used as primary sources of rituals and were located strategically along a pattern which represented either the cosmos, or the primary landscape figures near by.

Papoose A papoose (from the Algonquian papoos, meaning "child") is an English loanword whose present meaning is "an American Indian child" (regardless of tribe). T he word came originally from the Narragansett. The term also sometimes refers to Cradle boards and other child carriers, which were used by Native American Indians and went by many names, but in the United States and the United Kingdom, the term papoose is used to refer to a child carrier, many of which are similar to those used by Indians. Some are simple slings and others are similar to a rucksack; unlike rucksacks, papooses can be worn on either the front or the back.
