Hoogaan (or "hogan") is a Dine language term for a wood-and-earth
dwelling,
usually more or less octagonal and usually from about 12 to 16 feet across
at the base, built into a dome with layers of timbers and adobe-like
chinking. Most were very strongly built to deal with the temperature
extremes found in the alpine deserts in the Four Corners area, and
amounted
to the same thing as log cabins, though built as a dome rather than as a
cubic form. Other regions had different housing styles and often had a
winter village and a summer village. Some of the most comfortable houses
were made of layers of various durable barks over light wooden frames,
especially in the region between the Mississippi and the East Coast.
