Long ago we lived in longhouses. The whole family and extended family lived together in one longhouse, which consisted of one large room with benches along the wall, and boxes instead of cupboards. Villagers would help to build longhouses or other houses as needed. This lasted into the 1930's. Today our people live in separate houses, but our longhouses are still used for our cultural events and winter spiritual gatherings. (We discuss the construction of our houses in more detail below, in the Cultural Notes to Lesson 6.)
