Wigwams & Longhouses

[J.L. Benet]

There isn't a lot of talk on here about the dwelling places of the woodlands. I know that one of the reasons is that it's really hard to bring a structure like a longhouse or wigwam with you to a pow-wow. Even so, I thought we might have a thread dedicated to wigwams and longhouses.
