Hogans are the name of the homes that the Navajo people
lived in. Hogans were made with a frame of logs and sticks and usually
covered with mud. Hogans were one room dwellings that were unique in
the fact that they were classified as male or female dwelling according
to their shape. A male Hogan was cone shaped, while a female Hogan
was six or eight sided dwellings. The door of a Hogan always faced
east. The floor of the Hogan represented Mother Earth and the roof,
Father Sky.
