Hogans (hoghan in Navajo) were made of logs and earth. Today they are also made of stone and modern building materials sometimes. They always have the door to the east. There are never any openings to the north. If someone dies inn the hogan a hole is broken in the north side to take out the body and the hogan is abandoned.They have a smokehole in the top. They always traditionally start with four poles, one for each direction. They are usually six or eight sided. Often the logs then are laid log cabin style for the walls then corbeled in to make the roof which is covered with earth for insulation. There are traditional areas and directions in the hogan where each activity is supposed to take place, ie: cooking, eating, sleeping. They are hoagns that are male and those that are female. Most one today are female. The male ones are more cone shaped. The floor should be earth or have access to the earth for religious reasons. The are traditional blessing ceremonies that are still done when a hogan is built. Most traditional religious ceremonies need to take place in part in a hogan. The first hogan is said to havve been made bby Asdzaan Nadlehe ( Changing Woman) one of the principal deities of the Navajo people.
The Navajo use tree branches and logs to make an octagon or hexagon- shaped house an then covered it with dirt. It has a smoke hole in the center n and the door always faces east. It is called a hogan. Today, some are made with modern building materials.
Some Cherokee nations peoples used different houses for winter and summer called long houses. The rectangular summer house would be made of wood. The winter house, which was shaped like a half-sphere, would be much smaller so that it was easier to heat.

Their shelters depended on where they lived and what was readily available.Some of these people were cliffdwellers living in homes made with mud, sticks and stones in an apartment-like organization.Others lived in pueblos which were the adobe (mud) houses not associated with cliffs, but were built on the desert.The Navajo lived in hogans built out of tree material and sometimes hides.The Apache built wickiups which was a wooden frame covered with brush, and for added protection a buffalo hide.
