What kind of homes did the Biloxi Indians have?

Biloxi Indians lived in long rectangular-shaped houses covered in palmetto, cypress bark or thatch. Most houses were about 20 feet wide and 100-200 feet long. Each house contained many families, with each family having its own hearth or fireplace.

The houses were well-built and could withstand the harsh weather of the Gulf Coast. The walls were made of wooden poles that were lashed together with vines or bark. The roof was made of palmetto leaves or cypress bark, and it was held in place by wooden beams.

The Biloxi Indians also built smaller, temporary shelters that were used for hunting and fishing. These shelters were made of the same materials as the larger houses, but they were not as well-built.

The Biloxi Indians were skilled builders, and their homes were well-suited for the environment in which they lived.
