Navajo homes

The Navajo Indians lived in homes called

hogans. They are made from wooden poles,
tree bark, and mud. The doorway opened to
the east so they could welcome the sun.

 The Navajos learned to farm from the Pueblos and made called
hogans, which were houses made of mud plaster over a foundation of
wooden poles.

It was filled with light from an

opening at the top of the
ceiling which was about two
feet square. The hogan,
because of its thick earthen
walls, is cool during the heat
of the summer and warm
during winter.

 About 500 years ago, the

Apaches and Navajos
appeared in the Southwest.
The Apaches and Navajos
were hunters that frequently
raided Pueblo fields for food.
