North American Indian Dwellings is a comprehensive book written by T.T. Waterman, which provides a detailed insight into the various types of dwellings used by the indigenous people of North America. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the dwellings of the Eastern Woodlands, Plains, and Southwest regions, while the second part covers the dwellings of the Northwest Coast and California regions.The book begins by discussing the different types of materials used in the construction of these dwellings, such as wood, bark, grass, and adobe. It also describes the various architectural styles used by the indigenous people, such as the longhouse, wigwam, tipi, hogan, and pueblo.Waterman also provides a detailed description of the cultural and social significance of these dwellings, including their role in religious ceremonies and daily life. He also discusses the impact of European colonization on the indigenous people and their traditional dwellings.The book is richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, and maps, which provide a visual representation of the different types of dwellings and their construction. The text is well-researched and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of North American indigenous people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
