Traditionally the Iroquois lived in bark and wood house called longhouses. Today our houses look very much like anyone else's. But many of us live in old wooden houses that were built by great great uncles and other friends and relatives of long ago. There are trailers and new houses on our reservation too.

When we go to the Longhouse for a ceremony or a social dance, we wear traditional regalia. For the women it may be a buckskin dress or a semi- long, cloth ribbon shirt worn over a skirt that is worn with leggings that are attached at the knee. The blouse, skirt and leggings are beautifully beaded. The beadwork designs are woodland designs, which depict flowers and animals. See similar questions...

Caves and rockshelters were also used as homes by various peoples in the past. See similar questions...

Except for trips and vacations, Washington lived in the President's House from November 1790 to March 1797 — reportedly, longer than he lived anywhere but Mount Vernon. In November 1793, to escape the Yellow Fever epidemic, Washington moved to Germantown (6 or 7 miles outside the city) for several weeks, and he vacationed there the following summer. Washington tried to spend a couple of months of each year at Mount Vernon, but with his work as President this was not always possible. See similar questions...

Many UFO researchers argue that UFOs have appeared throughout history. There are many myths, legends, and stories that tell of strange things seen in the sky or beings who came from the sky to help humans develop civilization.
