Housing
They built high bee-hive shaped houses thatched with grass. The houses are 15-30 feet across. Each house had 10-12 beds to fit in each house.Also, they have a small hole at the top of the roof, to let the smoke out. Well, that's because there was always a fire placed in the middle of the house. When men went hunting , they would have buffalo-hide tipis.
