Jas`s+long+house

The following instructions will show you how to make a long house. First you will need to find a flat area and a tree not any but a cedar tree. It can be a yellow or red cedar. Then you will need to cut a piece and see if it is rotten or can be used. If it is rotten you need to find a new cedar tree. Next you will need to ask the tree if you can cut down the tree. If it allow it, you need to have a ceremony. To cut down the tree, put mud and burn the tree. Then you will need to trim the branches. Then you need to cut other trees into planks. Then they move the wood into the Village. They dig a hole as deep as a man`s waist. Men put poles in holes. You could clean the post and carve and place them into the right holes. The men will tic the planks to the post. They used smoke poles to let the exhaust out.
