The nomadic Native Americans who lived and hunted on the plains of North America, such as the Sioux tribe, lived in tipis(teepees, tepees). This housing is made from buffalo skins, long poles, and tie downs. They are conical tent-like structures, that have an opening in the center at the top so the smoke from the hearth fire, placed in a pit in the center of the floor of the tipi, can escape from the shelter through the top hole. Although they are made from crude materials, they are very strong and when located properly, can survive many dangerous storms. Native Americans, even the ancients, understood and used observations of the laws of nature and physics in the world around them to make their lives more comfortable, too. The draft from the openings at the bottom of the tipis, not only carries the smoke from the interior out the top hole during cold weather and cooking, but also provides cooling ventilation in the warmer periods. These homes were quickly put up and taken down for the nomadic tribes' ease of moving to the next hunting grounds when the herds were being followed (sometimes a tribe could be ready to move in only an hour when time to follow the herds of buffalo).

=== === === === === === Wigwams are similar to tipis, except not intended to be moved. The woodlands tribes lived for longer periods in one place since they were more agricultural. They constructed new wigwams if they moved, rather than take them along like tipis. Wigwams are easily made of readily available woodland materials like poles and bark (usually birch). They can be conical-shaped like tipis, or domed, rectangular, round, etc.

Grass houses were made by the southern plains tribes such as those who lived in the plains of SW Texas. Grass houses were much like wigwams in construction, only they were covered with the plains grasses instead of bark. They stood taller (perhaps even 40 feet), and were shaped more like beehives (bee skeps). They were used in warmer climates, so the extra insulation provided by the bark for winter warmth in the northern woodlands was not needed, instead they used the southern plains grasses at hand. Wattle houses were permanent structures, made of grasses and reeds woven in pole frames then covered with plaster. They usually had thatch or grass roofs. These were used by the Southeastern tribes like the Cherokees, who called them asi. The Iroquois and Algonquin tribes made permanent longhouses that were fashioned out of wood frames and covered with bark (usually elm), much like wigwams. They provided shelter and warmth for multiple families because they were very big, over 100 feet long. A second floor housed the common sleeping area with sleeping mats, and "rooms" created with wooden screens. The first floor of the longhouses was the living area, which at times served as a place for meetings, ceremonial functions, and sometimes sweat lodges. Platform dwellings called Chickee Huts were made in the Florida area by the Seminole tribes to provide dry housing in the wetlands and swamps. They consisted of platforms situated up on tall stilts with a grass or thatched roof attached. They did not have walls, because they really were not needed for warmth in the tropical climates. If there were big rains, they sometimes would temporarily put up skins to keep the wind and rain from blowing in. The raised platforms not only kept them dry above the wetlands, floods, and swamps, but also kept them up and away from the swamp critters and snakes. Pueblo Indians in the dry Southwest made adobe pueblos. The adobe was masonry they made from clay and straw bricks. The climate was ideal for the materials, since the dry conditions hardened and dried the adobe bricks. Sometimes, instead of adobe bricks, these permanent structures that were a little like individual family condos in multi-story complexes, were made from large rocks cemented together with wet adobe. Agricultural clans lived permanently in them. These too, were built with precision and a design that took advantage of passive solar heat that was absorbed in the structure during the day and radiated warmth during the colder nights. The pueblos were positioned to take advantage of available shade during the afternoon and evening and utilized almost modern day technology to ventilate and cool them in the hot daytime. They can be very comfortable for sleeping and living.

Other tribes, used nature to provide their shelter and slept and lived in natural caves. Earthen Houses, include many different types, like dugouts, Navajo Hogans, West Coast pithouses, Pawnee and Sioux earth lodges,sod houses in the subarctic areas like Alaska, and mud huts. Earthen Houses are all partially underground. The earth is bermed on the sides at the entrance where there is a domed mound of grass or thatched roofing on a frame which is also covered with dirt. The living section of these houses is dug into the side of a hill, or simply dug into the ground like a basement. This type of dwelling is not used in the woodlands or forests because the tree roots make digging too difficult and they eventually "invade" the dugout home.

Coastal tribes along the northwest pacific built permanent plank houses out of cedar planks. They fished at the coast and stayed put year round. These cedar plank houses could be kept warm, and Native Americans on the coast lived comfortably in them as far north as Alaska. Tribes who moved frequently also built brush houses. These were made with short poles and covered with brush, vines, leaves, and twigs. They were only good in warm dry places like the Apache lands, and were for very temporary use. Most often, brush houses were built, used, then left behind when hunting groups moved on through the wilderness on hunting parties. They were used only for sleeping since they were hastily built and small, so small that no one could stand upright in one. They have names like wikiups, lean-tos, and gowa. Wikiups can be tent shaped or conical.

The Inuits of Northern Canada made Iglu (Igloos) from ice and snow, but some also lived in dugout sod houses.

Only a few of these different types of homes are actually still being used for housing by Native Americans today such as the pueblos and a few Navajo Hogans. Otherwise nowadays they are mostly just used for sweat lodges, ceremonies, community meetings and events. On the lighter side: What did the Native Americans sleep in? Buckskin P.J.s!
