Long House
Have You Ever Wanted To Live in a Home Made of Cedar??
Well in the Pacific North West they build their homes out of Cedar Trees. They were more popularly called, Big Houses.Only the richest families live there.They don't have nails to keep it together, they use wooden pegs. On the insides they were decorated with designs. Some Long Houses were HUGE!! some were 100 feet long or tall and 25 feet wide. Now that's a BIG house!!! All Northwest coastal Indians are divided into 2 or more clans. You could not marry someone from your clan. The Haida only had 2 clans everyone was either born a Raven or a Eagle. When a baby was born it belonged to the Mothers clan.
