Today I think that yurts could be very dangerous with the fire risk. If you move you hurt to a hot location there is a chance that the location could be to hot and it will start a fire.

Tepees are a lot better than having a big mansion, because it can decompose a lot of dirt and the the buffalo skin helps absorb the rain water, and the smaller it is the easier it is to warm up. if you have a big house it also uses a lot of energy and oil which is not good for the environment.

People who lived in the snow were very good at building houses out of snow. They used something freezing cold and made it so that they were toasty warm. Which is good. Also people mainly used what was around then depending if it was trees snow and others they still had a roof over their head e.g. Igloo yurt teepeea Fale and plenty more. This is better than what we have today because the process would take longer if we were making a house in the modern. If we were making a igloo ,or any of the other houses, it would be taking less time from us cause time is very important in this time of life. In my opinion this is better because trees help us breath and were getting rid of them more. So we might die thanks to us.

tipis are made of buffalo skin and wood they can fit up to 2 families.They were good for the environment because when they were too old they decompose and rot. There were no environmental problems from them.

# data[].attributes.body
We think houses back then were good for the environment because take a igloo into example it was perfect for the conditions they lived in and the resources which go into making an igloo are very common because its all around them.

Same for Fale they are easy to make and all the resources used into making them are all reusable and easy to collect because they are part of their environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Igloos are a good house because they are good for the cold environment.
The fale and all the materials matches the enviroment around the pacific island. These types of houses were good for the environment because they made them from organic materials. They could be rebuilt easily and when they decomposed there were no harmful materials.

People in the past from Central Asia had really good creative mind of their traditional Tiny House called a Yurt. They´ve really thought about their living and how many other people can stay in this Tiny house. Out of the materials that was surrounded by them.

# data[].attributes.body
Yurts and tepees have very similar materials. Those materials were discovered by an ancient whanau who was looking to make a home out of nature. Both yurts and tepees have been around for along time because of their nature structure and also wood, animal skins and large pieces of cloth was easy to find. so with this summary  yurts and
tepees are very alike.

# data[].attributes.body
Igloos are made of ice for the precise reason of keeping heat in, the compressed snow keeps and traps the heat. It's ideal for being environmentally friendly.
It's a unique type of building and other cultures use green materials to make houses e.g. yurts

# data[].attributes.body
Fale were built out of the environment around them. They were much cooler and counteracted the heat. Fale are also made out of thatch and wood.

I think that there are a lot of different types of tiny homes and they are all built to suit different environments. I also think it is unusual that old tiny homes were small and could house up 30 people but nowadays our houses only have four or five people living in them and they can be enormous!

# data[].attributes.body
It would be quite good for the environment today if we had tiny houses because less global warming, less electricity usage and almost no pollution

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how long it would take to pack tepees up and move

Back then not everything was imported from China so they had to use natural resources. So the houses that were created were made from resource in that climate for example igloo was made ice because there was alot  of ice around them. If we live like they did it would be better for the enviroment

# data[].attributes.body
Igloos are very good because they substain heat and are made of the same material that is causing the cold. This type of home worked so well for people in that culture because any other sort of home would break in the wind or not be warm anough. People started building bigger homes because they weren't living in the same environment and didn't have the same weather. The bigger homes don't need to substain heat like igloos because in the environment that there built in might be sunny not snowing and cold.

# data[].attributes.body
Igloo are below ground huts made in alaska from Ice by the inluits. They are so small that they can be heated by body heat alone. They are very different from the tiny houses today as these usually have central heating. The inluits have used them for hundreds of years and they still use them today. Igloos are arranged in a circular pattern will one big igloo in the middle to create a town of sorts. The big igloo can house up to 20 people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that tepees were a good idea because it was easy to find the resources they needed. They already hunted buffalos so it was clever to think of using the skins as walls as they are waterproof. Using the buffalo hides for the walls was not only practical it alsogave warmth and shelter from the rain. These homes were great and extremely practical for the native Indians at the time. I don't know why they started making big expensive houses since making these tepees were easy and cheap.

# data[].attributes.body
Yurts are a great mobile house that Mongolians made and have been around for hundreds of years. They are normally made with animal skins tied to the framing of the yurt. Yurts are a great tiny house because they are really warm and east to set up and take down. We think we could live in a yurt because the aren't very small and they are warm. Also you'd get to travel which would be quite fun If people lived in homes like this nowadays the icebergs wouldn't be melting and there wouldn't be so much pollution. The downside is that they used animal skins which may lead to instinct species. BUt they could breed own animals like in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
Tepees were easy for people to make then because the materials were easy to find and they could be easily constructed and deconstructed so they could move it to places for hunting. If we lived like this today it would be harder to get the materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Tiny house were a really good idea back then. It wouldn't use many materials so the people could use it for other things. The tiny houses are made of things around the area. The igloos made from ice and snow, the tepees are made from buffalo hide and the tale is made out of wood and leaves. The houses could'nt be made to big or it would fall down. I wonder how many people an igloo or a tepee could hold? Could you cook in side a igloo without it melting? The igloos were made real strong so it could stand in strong winds.

# data[].attributes.body
All of these forms of shelter have been around for a very long time. They are also very effective for providing shelter in specific weather and climates.
For example, igloos are designedfor  cold icy snowy weather and they provide warmth and shelter from the  elements.
As I said before these forms of houses have been around for a very long time, and they all worked. So why have most of us walked away from the small life to move into bigger pernement houses. It could be because it is convinent or that we have more money to make things big.
These traditional homEs are better for the enviro,net because they are  smaller and they used reuseable resources like snow.

# data[].attributes.body
Each tiny house fits the climate it was made in. Iglooes are made out of ice and snow, which can be easily found in Canada, where Iglooes originated from, and it can reach up to 50 degrees inside, which is good for warming yourself up after a walk in the harsh cold. They are also very environmentally friendly, since the ice and snow is natural and renewable (obviously). If everyone (in Canada) lived in Iglooes, it would reduce the amount of energy consumed, but there wouldn't be much ice and snow left to build snowmen in

# data[].attributes.body
These styles of homes work so well because they fit the climate perfectly.
they fit the lifestyle perfectly because some of the houses were portable.
One of the materials used were buffalo skin to keep the house warm and it was a easy resource to get. living around enviromental things was easy because they didn't have to import things from Asia!  people started building big homes because they wanted to have more space to move around.
some traditonal small homes are: Yurts, Teepees, Fales, igloos.

# data[].attributes.body
Igloos are made out of ice blocks; so they are naturally friendly. They were used to keep warmth in during bad weather. Some other house like this are the tree houses of the Bagobo tribe and the houses that float on water that are in Malaysia.

# data[].attributes.body
Igloos Are made of bricks of ice, but how did they get the ice and make them into bricks? Why do you need to build igloos in cold places, can't you just build normal houses in cold places? I guess in the past if you were from the Inuit tribe you wouldn't have access to power or trees or plants that other cultures used.

# data[].attributes.body
These types of tiny homes are great environmentaly and only use local resources. In the winter they stay warm and in the summer the year don the get to hot, these worked really well in their cultures. - India

The materials that were used are alot  better environmentally as they were all recycled plus they insulate the houses very well and in the summer keeps bug out also the way they are assembled makes a very suitable place for cooking

# data[].attributes.body
Igloos are constructed by Inuit people and can actually get quite hot inside. They are great for the environment because when they are done with them, they melt. Other traditional homes that were good for the environment are teepees, yurts, fale, caravans, caves, whare, underground.

# data[].attributes.body
Tepees were incredibly useful in the olden days. The were movable and cost effective. Tepees were different to most normal house as they were tiny!  If you were to make a tiny house in the old days tou would onçy use the materials around you but now days you get given materials from around the globe. I think think having a tiny is a great idea

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all the houses fit the climate perfectly and they all used natural resources.

# data[].attributes.body
We think that tepees are great for the environment because they only use natural resources. In addition the low emissions make for a cleaner and safer environment. This also means that the live food don't die and the leftovers of the animal that they use on the tepee is food for the tribe. So the materiel we use to day like metal that are harming the plaint but if we used old materials like wood and small amounts of skin we can less the effect of the world that we live in.

# data[].attributes.body
Tiny houses are great for people who are either getting their first house or just want a fresh start. They can be transported easily and are great for people on-the-go. Tee-pees are made from recycled materials and poles to hold them up. They can be lots of different sizes but they are always a triangle shape. Igloos are made from ice but how would you get so many blocks of ice! Igloos are great for heat in a cold climate and have great space. Lots of people have used all of these types of houses and they all help the environment in reusing materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Tepees were made from buffalo skin, which was  very convenient as they already hunted buffalo for food, so that was killing two birds with one stone.
In addition to using natural resources, people used lots of resources they found around to build their homes, because that is all they had.

People that a building tiny homes now, may not know they are linking back to when people built out a natural resources, but they are. Tiny homes now are quite different from what the were in old days, but they are still kind of the same.

# data[].attributes.body
Teepees were made out of buffalo skin, this was a useful and natural (recycling) way to build a home because they were waterproof and easy to work with. Igloos also used natural resources (ice/snow). This shows that Tiny Houses from the past constructed their homes out of nature unlike the present.

I think that the types of houses in that time were perfect for the climate and the overall environment. For example,  The fale  was perfect for Samoa to suit the tropical climate  and the tools and materials that  they had at that point in time. So, I don't think today's tiny houses should be called that because these traditional homes were perfect for that time and tiny houses today are capable of doing a lot more than the houses of that time.  Tiny homes  from the past don't  fit the criteria of the the homes today.

# data[].attributes.body
Tiny houses have traditionally been made by many people, mainly out of common materials, and because it is easier to heat a smaller space. Many tiny houses seem to be portable as well, like the Tee-pi and Yurt. This makes them both cheap and convenient.

Igloos are a source of shelter for tribes living in artic conditions. They make igloos to have a home and keep out snow. They used tightly packed snow bricks to use as something to make  there walls and snow then would be quite a good thing to use because the live in snow. The tribe that used these tiny homes lived in canada and antartica The igloos usually have 1-5 rooms in them. Tiny houses are a good thing for all tribes in all weather because you don't have to use alot  of resources. There are also other types of houses including tepees and fales which are also small and also fit to the lifestyle of that particular tribe. The igloo, fale and the tepees fitted in with there clans lifestyle because of there uniqueness and how it would withstand there type of conditions.

The outside of the yurts are made out of felts so when it´s windy, the felt will block the wind from coming inside the yurts. The felts will also drain the water from the rain.

I think the tiny houses were  smart because they were made from the materials around the area. For example, Igloos were made from ice and the blocks of ice were thick to keep the heat in. Tepees are made from thin animal skin because of the hot climate and there are lots of wild animals in the area. Fale are made from the wood and dead leaves around them. The modern tiny house also suits peoples needs, like lots of storage and being portable.
