Because the indians were hunted, they needed homes that they could destroy easily. The homes also needed to be suitable for life in the swamps.
They built their houses out of bamboo stalks, in the shape of a circle. The walls were well constructed by adding another row of bamboo, which also kept them warmer. The roof was made into a cone shape, covered with leaves, to allow rain water to repel easily (Milligan 6). When a Choctaw died there would be a large gathering of family and friends. It was a custom in Choctaw villages to bury their dead in bone houses.

The Shawnee tribe originated from the Ohio River Valley, but were forced out supposedly by Iroquois in the 1600s, and spread out to Pennsylvania, Illinois, or even as far as Maryland or Georgia.
