    Colorful photographs and illustrations perfectly complement the interesting facts presented in this well-written book about Native American longhouses. Primarily built by the Iroquois Indians in northeastern United States and southern Canada, these traditional dwellings served not only as homes for families and clans, but they also operated as locations for special ceremonies and meetings, as well as storage facilities. The author describes how Native Americans used wood, bark and other materials to create these amazing structures, how these natural materials were gathered and prepared, how the longhouses were constructed, how families organized their living spaces inside these long structures, and why the Iroquois created longhouse villages. This informative title also contains a glossary, a list of books for further reading, an Internet resource, and an index. Beginning readers and young researchers will enjoy this fascinating nonfiction resource. A good choice for any library. This book is part of the "Native American Life" series., This book, from the Native American Life series, introduces the longhouse. As explained in the text, longhouses were built in the past by the Iroquois dwelling within their palisaded villages and are still used today, not as houses but as places for ceremonies and meetings. Each double-page spread includes a color photo or painting facing a page with a few sentences explaining topics such as "What Is a Longhouse?" or "Building a Longhouse." With large type and short sentences, the text looks accessible. Drawn from diverse sources, the paintings differ in style and some look fuzzy, as though enlarged beyond the point of clarity. The color photos of longhouse exteriors are excellent. A glossary is appended.
