I wonder if the Potawatomi built their homes this way?

WOW!! Amazing.....

Wow nice

Blurry camera footage but thanks for showing the book. Wanted to know about it before I decide to invest in it

How long did it take

I’ve recently started doing my ancestry and I am a decent of 7+ of the Pantenee’s…. So cool that there’s videos in regards to my ancestors. I’ll be visiting soon.

Can you build one for my camp?

A sheet of polyethylene underneath the thatch would make that 100% weather and water proof.

Absolute fantastic

My maiden name is Deyo.. Thanks to Tony Deyo I found out about this house and some of my family. I wish I could find out more about our history.

Zillow has that listed at $600K.

I have been learning about this. How long did that take you?😲

This is the best example of a wigwam I have seen so far. The builder shows such care and precision, and the modern use of reeds is a good adaption to abundance. Instead of a “survival shelter” as you will see made often, this looks to be an actual home. I can’t make out the saplings though-are they hop hornbeam?

You did not bother to show us the interior or what it might look like

i think everyone will like it. Such a nice video👌...keep sharing

those Mormon assistants are industrious! 😅

I would be interested in purchasing this book. I have "ancient" relatives tied to New Paltz and area circa 1662.

👏 Bravo! Beautiful voice! 👏

Beautiful video thank you.

nice

Wish you had shown the interior.

This is beautiful! Thank you!

Were there any First Nations People involved in this construction?

Wigwams are not cone-shaped?

In real history it would be the men who built the frame. The women and children would finish their newly framed long houses or wigwams and the men would go hunting after the frames were constructed. The game caught would get skinned and butchered, its hide tanned, and its meat smoked for winters, stored, cooked and eaten by all the relatives and descendants of two Gens seated at the head of the table the oldest members of the tribe. From up high skylights open and close and hanging from the rafters to dry for herbs, paint, seeds, and weed to smoke a la tobacco. I often wondered if it was pot in the peace pipe? A Long House could house up to six individual families, has three fireplaces, and double as a smoke house, storage, all members sleep, live, use as a workshop, it can be as a high as two stories and as long as 1000 feet. Interior lofts for bedding and rooms walled off by skins. More than one Long House and you have a village run by the Gens of each tribe. The Long House is the Windmill of the Americas and it can be found all over the world in every historical period but the period we are stuck with. The methods and materials of construction served well for thousands of years as a self-sufficient system against the forces of nature. All that gave way to creation of markets where needs are met by means of money and Home Depot lumber. When money is not the bond people need to live the Long House will return to general use the question is will it before or after the next mass human debacle? Single family units dissolve a way of life of self-sufficiency creating a state of mind and condition of place of dependency. Individual families lose language, fraternity, culture, skill spawned from the bonds of cooperation that connected them to each other in one Long House.

It's surprising how much this looks like the thatched roofs of England. Except here the thatch comes all the way to ground.

Is this crew that built the Wigwam what they call the Wig Party in olden times?

I was fortunate to have a Native American friend who remembers her other mother taking her to her grandmother's wigwam for the day. Her grandmother refused to live in a house only her wigwam

Life before Home Depot😁

This would have been a fantastic video if it had been filmed at normal speed and had included an explanation of the whole process in a voice over during the editing stage. But if you didn’t have time I understand. It is a fine video nonetheless. Liked!

What kinda would do you use?

what if we just lived in an upside down basket, those guys, probably

more like Twig wam

So, using the blue tarps isn't historically accurate?

Wish you showed the bark removal process, I kinda missed some steps because of this.

❤ wow

😍

This build is awesome!

If you begin with a few young healthy trees, bending them together, and tangling the soft branches into one-another, a wetu is anchored to the earth, and is actually a living thing for several more years to come. If that young tree is a maple, your home makes sweetener. When it finally dies, it serves as a strong piling for many years to come, and the wetu withstand very high winds.

Beautiful tune, your singing goes perfectly with the banjo. When are you coming to Denmark 😁

Pilahuk.

Everyone should understand how to build a shelter that will keep you warm and dry from the materials that were given to us by the Creator for free!

Keep Vernon in your heart.

True blue never loses it's hue, Hugh, Hughes, hues...What 🐕

Good presentation and information.

I love nature.

A long time ago I was taught this by the grandson of a voyager. We wet lay the reed, laying straight then crisscross layers(3 layers, half hand thick each). Then clay cover and bark up. Then light a fire and dry for three days.

Good

Very helpful.
