| Summary: | The entrance of a snow-covered earthlodge faces the viewer. Postcards; Photographer unknown. Title created by staff. The Mandans, Hidatsas, and Arikaras lived in houses made of logs, sticks, and grass covered with earth. Earthlodges were warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and unlikely to burn in a prairie fire. Earthlodges are a good design for shelter on the northern Great Plains. |
