A large wooden framed structure used as a communal area for the whole tribe.
Long houses are similar to wigwams, in that they use a wooden pole frame covered with elm bark. There are holes at intervals along the roof to allow smoke from the fires burning inside the building to escape. During the winter months the two main entrances are covered with animal pelts to keep out the cold winds.
Long houses are big enough for an entire extended family or clan and have raised platform areas for sleeping mats, leaving large areas of the lower floor for socializing.
