A place for the community to, socialise and have their say on tribal matters.
A wise chief listens to his people, and uses their collective wisdom and instincts. The meeting hall gives a venue where their concerns can be heard and tribal business carried forward. The hall is also the social centre of the tribe too, where happy occasions such as marriages and births can be celebrated.
Meeting halls were decorated with beautiful depictions of tribal history, the spirits and important animals. Some tribes also practiced sand painting, although this was used as a healing ritual. The sand images varied according to the sickness to be cured, and the beauty of the work affected the success of the healing.
