THESE NATIVES INSULATED THEIR REDWOOD POLE HOUSES WITH CONICAL EARTH BANKED FOR AROUND THE THE WALL. THEY BANKED EARTH EXTERIORS AS SWEAT HOUSES OR ASSEMBLY LODGES.
THE MONARCHE AND YOKUTS, POMO AND MODOC, PATWIN MIWOK BUILT EXCAVATED PIT HOUSES FOR WINTER SHELTERS. GROUPS IN WARMER CLIMATES CLIMATES ERECTED CONICAL WIKIUPS OF GRASS AND REEDS.
THE MONARCHS WHO LIVED IN THE 2000' IN ELEVATION ALONG THE SIERRA MADRES MADE PINE POLE TIPIS ABOUT 10' IN DIAMETER.
SOME OF THEM HAD FIRES IN THEIR TIPIS OR ON THE OUTSIDE DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER. THE YOKUTS MADE BRUSH HOUSES OF THATCHED ROOFS OF LEAFY BRANCHES. THEY WERE ABOUT 20' IN DIAMETER. THE POMO BUILT CONICAL EARTH LODGES ABOUT 60' IN DIAMETER CENTERED OVER EXCAVATED PITS 60' IN DIAMETER.
THE HUPA HAD PLANK CEDAR AND REDWOOD HOUSES IN 1920 ALONG THE RIVERS.
THEY HAD CIRCULAR ENTRANCES BARELY THE SIZE OF THE HUMAN BODY. WE HAVE ENTERED SIMILAR ONES RECONSTRUCTED BY YUROK FOLKS IN THE PRAIRIE REDWOODS STATE PARK BY TRINIDAD.
THEIR WERE 34 BANDS OF POMO SPREAD IN FOUR COUNTIES.. THEY HAD HOKAN DIALECTS.
