longhouse quinte mohawk school
Last week we were at Quinte Mohawk School . I was in a class room of grade six students, we made Longhouses. I had no idea what this was until they told me what they were. Longhouse are native american homes that are built similarly to wigwams, with pole frames and elm bark covering . The main difference is that longhouse are much larger than wigwams they could be 200 feet long , 20 feet wide and 20 feet high inside the longhouse ,is a raised platforms created asecond story .Mats and wood screens divded the long house into separate rooms . Each longhouse has many as 60 people in it. Longhouses are good homes for people who intend to stay in the same place for a long time .A longhouse is large and takes a lot of time to build and decorate .
