Prereqs
Common misconceptions
- Believing all Native peoples lived in tipis (only some Plains nations; many nations had different dwellings)
- Believing traditional dwellings are no longer used (some ceremonial uses continue today; many Native families today live in modern homes AND keep traditional dwellings for ceremony)
- Drawing a 'generic Indian house' rather than the specific dwelling of a specific nation (avoid this trope)
