Hogan

A hogan ( /ˈhoʊɡɑːn/ or /ˈhoʊɡən/; from Navajo hooghan ) is the primary traditional home of the Navajo people. Other traditional structures include the summer shelter, the underground home, and the sweat house. A hogan is usually round and cone-shaped, but they may also be square. A traditional hogan is made of wood and packed mud and earth in varying amounts, with the door facing east to welcome the rising sun for good wealth and fortune.
