I've always thought it was a shame more blocks didn't have slab varents, and these builds just go to prove why they are needed. From the reading and stuff I've learned growing up this doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg in building with these materials. What I find truly funny in the difference between Minecraft and RL also goes back to my previous statements, that is in Minecraft it can be harder to build a basic build then the same build IRL, the lean-to being the greatest example of this. IRL you can throw up a simple lean-to that can get you through a night in a matter of minutes, even a few hours if you want it to last longer, even with the most primitive of material. Where in minecraft you have to jump through dozens of hoops and maybe even days of work to get something close but never just right.
Yep, that is an awesome point, but that is part of what I enjoy about the challenge in trying to recreate these historical builds as close as possible to 1 block = 1 meter. Sometimes just look blocky. You can obviously avoid that by scaling it up but you could end up with a build that looks giant. In this case like a tipi the size of a mountain or a hill :).
second vid of urs i watched, this is amazing i love it. Information about the Native people of the Americas is so under represented which makes this even more intresting keep it up.
this was really useful for a build I had in mind and very informative as to the history as well! I'm an immigrant living in Canada and unfortunately am in an area where I don't get that much exposition to the diverse range of first nations' cultures
One thought that occurs to me is how much bark is used in constructing these structures, in the bark shingles for instance. Doesn't stripping a tree of all its bark kill the tree? Or maybe they had enough bark from the trees they were already harvesting anyway. Could just be a case of re-using what otherwise would've gone to waste.
What a great question. To be honest I don't know for certain but I suspect they used the bark from trees the felled for other purposes of used for wood fires.
Great video!!! I believe it one of topics which I once suggested to you. Those kind of dwellings would look amazing in different Minecraft biomes, as f.e. houses for villagers, tipis for plains or long houses for old growth taiga. BTW. I've recently noticed that Minecraft villages architecture was a bit inspired by real life traditional old world architecture.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I believe you are right, it has been on my list of videos to make for a while. November is Native American Heritage Month so I was timing it to that :). I think these types of houses would work great as villages for villagers!
I'm so happy to see this video! 😀 I've been hoping for a while that you'd do it. 😊 I'm planning on using some of these in my own world, which already includes a variant of your Irish tower fort. 🙂 One small detail - "Mohawk" originated as an insulting term used by other first peoples. Their own name for themselves is Kanien'kehá:ka. My gf is Kanien'kehá:ka and this came up in conversation a few years back. I believe they often use Mohawk for themselves too now, but i figured you'd be interested in their own name. 🙂 (Tbh, i think the main reason it stuck with me is because of my linguistics background... "Kanien'kehá:ka"is such an interesting word to my mostly-European ears! And further side note, if you want to say "thank you" in Anishinaabemowin, the language group of the Algonquin and Ojibwe peoples, "chi-miigwetch" is basically "big thanks", but I've yet to learn how to say thank you in Kanien'kéha. I'M SORRY I'LL SHUT UP ABOUT LINGUISTICS NOW.)
Love it! What a great post! Thank you so much for adding more knowledge to the video so we can all learn more! Glad you are finding the builds helpful and even finding them useful in your own worlds! I didn't know that about the Mohawk or I would likely not used Mohawk or at least added a sentence after that saying what they called themselves. It is interesting that all the academic papers I read about the topic just said Mohawk too. If I remember right I think the same kind of thing is the case for Wales in the UK. I think Wales means "foreigners" or "strangers" in Anglo-Saxon...so basically what the Anglo-Saxon invaders called the local people of what is now Wales. I think they called themselves Cymru not Welsh.
@@Haraldr_Halfdan Yeah, I get the impression that regardless of the origin of the name, it's been at least partially embraced by the people themselves, unlike what happened with the name we used to use for the Inuit (which they always regarded as an insult). I did my best to write my comment as "Hey here's some extra info you may find interesting" rather than "you shouldn't use that term" or whatever... Words are hard, y'know? ;-) And because I forgot to say it earlier: Thank you for all this content you've created. Any time one of your videos pops up I immediately go "AWW YISS TIME TO LEARN". 😀 They always inspire me to build new things!
That's awesome! Glad you liked the topic! I tried up a different thumbnail style this time, so I am glad you liked it. Thanks for dropping me a post and letting me know!

I'd love to see something based off of the mound builders cultures of the Mississippi valley.
I have an older episode about Cahokia or were you thinking about other sites?
@@Haraldr_Halfdan I totally missed that one. looking for it now!
Thanks for showing off these different architecture style! It's cool seeing history being taught in new ways.
You bet! I am glad you like them!
this is so cool, you deserve more subs man!
Oh! That's nice of you to say! Feel free to share the channel with anyone you think would enjoy it if you want to help spread it around!

Thank you so much! Yes, I couldn't agree more. I don't see much about native americans on youtube generally but also not much in minecraft either.
this was really useful for a build I had in mind and very informative as to the history as well! I'm an immigrant living in Canada and unfortunately am in an area where I don't get that much exposition to the diverse range of first nations' cultures
That's great to hear!
I wonder if native tribes use minecraft to teach people and kids about their cultures?
If not they should look into that, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
I think Minecraft is a great educational tool. I have no idea if it is being used for that specific purpose though.

@@canuckotter That is so nice of you to say! I am glad you are enjoying the videos! Yes, I took your comment as you meant it. Thanks! You rock!
This has given me so many new ideas for building custom villages that I'd never thought of, great video!!!
I'm so glad! That is great! Happy this brought you some inspiration! Thanks for letting me know!
This was all very new for me and was suoer fun to watch
That's great! Glad this was new for you and also that you liked it!
My reaction when I saw the thumbnail; This is so cool!
That's awesome! Glad you liked the topic! I tried up a different thumbnail style this time, so I am glad you liked it. Thanks for dropping me a post and letting me know!
i love how you your videos come out! native americans cultures are so diverse and complex, anthropology has a lot to learn from them.
Thanks! That is nice of you to say and glad you are enjoying them!
i mostly make dugouts if im building in this style
Nice!
It's criminal that you have less than 1000 subs.
LOL! Well, glad you are enjoying the channel and the videos. Feel free to spread the word around if you think others would enjoy it too!! ;)
I tried various times to make swamp dweling nativeamerican houses, but i ended up more with caribean than seminole arquitecture. Love from spain
Oh, that's cool, how did it turn out? That sounds like a pretty nice build!
