These houses were meant for one family and were placed all over the village. The Mississippian culture people built mound grass houses. These houses were mainly made of one, grass, and a cement like material that they made out of things like mud, dirt, gravel, and sand. This house also had one or two open windows as well as a door. For the people who lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle they built chickee stilt houses. These houses were built with supporting beams that were made of mainly wood that were raised several feet off the ground. On top of that there was a wooden platform with leaves and small sticks that prismic like cover for the roof. Wattle and daub houses were sometimes build for colder climates. These houses were built like the mound grass houses but they had leaves, bushes, and grass that was bunch together to create an extra layer for the house. This would help keep the cold from coming in through the house. When the American settlers thinks like metal tools over to the native americans they started to build wooden log house.
