How to Build a Longhouse Mini-Book - Iroquois Confederacy Activity #3219338 (License: Personal Use)

This classroom worksheet invites students to construct a physical model of an Iroquois longhouse and create a mini-book illustrating each stage of its construction, based on archaeological and historical evidence. It includes background on the Five (later Six) Nations, their governance structure as the Haudenosaunee, and traditional building techniques using wood poles, bark sheets, and lashings. The page features line drawings of a longhouse and a mini-book mock-up, supporting experiential learning in Native American studies.

Used in elementary or middle school social studies curricula to teach Indigenous North American history, particularly the Iroquois Confederacy; supports project-based learning, cross-curricular STEM/STEAM integration, and cultural literacy.
