USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Historic tribes most frequently associated with earth lodges are the Pawnees, Mandans, Hidatsas, Arikaras, Otoes, Kansas (or Kaw), Omahas, and Poncas. In what would become the state of Kansas the tribes that lived in earth lodges were the Pawnees and the Kansas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Earth lodges were often built alongside tribal farm fields, alternating with tipis (which were used during the nomadic hunting season). A reconstructed earth lodge can be seen at the Glenwood, Iowa’s Lake Park. A village entirely made up of earth-lodges may be seen at New Town, North Dakota.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Great Plains, located in North America, have an area of approximately 1, 125, 000 square miles (2, 900, 000 square km), roughly equivalent to one-third of the United States. Their length from north to south is some 3, 000 miles (4, 800 km) and their width from east to west is 300 to 700 miles.

Detailed explanation-4: -All Plains peoples used tepees, although villagers resided for most of the year in earth lodges. The tepee is a conical tent, its foundation being either three or four poles; other poles placed around these formed a roughly circular base.
