Indigenous Structures
Indigenous structures refer to the traditional buildings and architectural forms created by Indigenous peoples around the world. These structures are often made from local materials, such as wood, stone, and earth, and are designed to harmonize with the surrounding environment. Examples include the tipi of the Plains Indigenous peoples and the longhouse of the Iroquois.
These buildings serve various purposes, including shelter, community gatherings, and spiritual ceremonies. Indigenous structures reflect the cultural values, social organization, and environmental knowledge of the communities that create them. They are integral to the identity and heritage of Indigenous peoples, showcasing their connection to the land.
