Conclusion:  So in conclusion we have learned that Eskimos live in tents made from animal skin and dome shaped houses called igloos made from blocks of snow. The Native Americans lived in a type of tent also called a tepee made from material found in their Great Plans region. We also learned about a tribe of Native Americans, know as the cliff dwellers,  that made their homes in the sides of canyons for protection. In comparing the different types of house with our own we learn that people's homes reflect the environment they live in.
