Ho-Chunk Lodge
| The Ho-Chunk used many different materials to cover their lodges. The earlier lodges had coverings made of cattail mats, deer hides, and sheets of bark. This one is covered with canvas, with a smoke hole visible at the top. When residents were not home, they would simply allow a blanket or mat to hang down over the door opening. A stick or board leaned against the door would indicate that no one was home. |
