Indigenous Architectures

Indigenous architectures refer to the traditional building designs and construction methods developed by Indigenous peoples, reflecting their cultures, environments, and resources. These structures often utilize local materials like wood, clay, and plant fibers, integrating environment and spirit into their design. They are tailored to climate and geography, such as longhouses, tipis, or wattle-and-daub homes, emphasizing community, sustainability, and cultural identity. Indigenous architecture embodies a deep connection between people and land, maintaining spiritual and practical traditions passed down through generations.
