Indigenous housing

Indigenous housing refers to the types of homes and living arrangements that are traditional or culturally significant to Indigenous people. These can vary widely among different communities, reflecting local materials, climates, and customs. In many cases, Indigenous housing also considers communal living and connection to the land. It often incorporates sustainable practices that honor the environment. However, many Indigenous communities face challenges, including inadequate housing conditions and lack of access to resources, stemming from historical and ongoing impacts of colonization. Efforts to improve Indigenous housing aim to respect cultural identity and promote better living conditions.
