When we think of the First Nation Peoples homes, we think of
the Tipi. The Western and Central Plains Nations, lived in Tipi's,
because they were on the move most of the time. The Eastern
Haudenosaunee and Algonquian Peoples built a much more permanent
dwelling. The Tipi was transportable housing, for example; but
the Inuit's Igloo was temporary housing, serving as emergency
shelter in the winter. The First Nations Peoples in the South
West, were Cliff Dwellers

We realize that some these dwellings did not occur in the Rouge
area, we have provided illustrations as a matter of discussion.
The Wigwam, Tipi and especially the Long house are appropriate.
Visitors to Sainte Marie Among The Hurons at Midland Ont., may inspect a reconstruction of a Huron Long House. You may visit, and step 500 years back in time at the re-constructed Haudenosaunee Village at Crawford Lake Ontario.
