Detailed explanation-1: -During the summer the Shawnee lived in wigwams. Wigwams were dome-shaped homes made from a frame of wood poles covered with bark. The women grew corn and other food crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Longhouses have another thing in common besides their shape: they were built to serve as a home for a large extended family. An extended family includes a number of family units consisting of parents and children, plus grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -A traditional longhouse was built by using a rectangular frame of saplings, each 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) in diameter. The larger end of each sapling was placed in a posthole in the ground, and a domed roof was created by tying together the sapling tops. The structure was then covered with bark panels or shingles.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Shawnee were renowned as fierce warriors, so other tribes would invite them to come share their lands in return for protection. This resulted in the Shawnee, at various points in history, occupying lands as far south as South Carolina, as far east as Pennsylvania, and as far west as Missouri.
