Alas, that is one of the great mysteries of the Hopewell. With no writen records, most of the information we have is from what we've dug out of their mounds. The only clue in what their shelters looked like comes fron their succsesors, the Fort ancients. The Fort Ancients lived in temprary circular/square huts and lean-to's. Alas, that is the best information that can be provied until we discover writen documents, an almost perfecly preserved shelter, or time machiens are invented.

The Shoshone people had several different bands which roamed the area covered by Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and parts of California. These hunters/warriors/gatherers traveled with the changing season and the need to find food. Their shelter came in the form of teepees covered with 10-12 buffalo hides, green houses (leafy branches covering a pole framework) and sometimes caves.
The Washoe people lived in Northern California. These hunter/gatherers had seasonal homes. In the winter, the building was 12-15 feet long with walls of poles and bark with a fire pit within. There was a smoke hole and the front door always faced the East. In the summer they wanted a quick-and-easy shelter which was satisfied by a teepee or lean-to depending on if they were traveling or in a temporary camp.
Hopi people lived in adobe houses, which are multi-story house complexes made of adobe (clay and straw baked into hard bricks) and stone. Each adobe unit was home to one family, like a modern apartment. Hopi people used ladders to reach the upstairs apartments. A Hopi adobe house can contain dozens of units and was often home to an entire extended clan.
