Were the Haidas houses a tipi?
Houses were usually built in two styles. The first is a small house that measured twenty by thirty feet. The second was a larger home that measured fifty by sixty feet. The smaller house style was home to thirty to forty closely related people. In the larger house style, the number of people living in it was usually doubled. Each home had a pit in the center of the home. The roofs of the houses differed by rank. High-ranking people in the village had very good roofs that would last. Poor people of lower rank had a roof made of bark that needs to be replaced often.
