This learning resource focuses on the Haudenosaunee longhouse as a central element of communal living among the Haudenosaunee people. It aims to help students understand the structural design of longhouses and how it fosters a cooperative family lifestyle. Through a series of guided questions, learners are encouraged to observe the interior of a longhouse and consider various aspects of life within this communal space, including the role of family dynamics and social organization. The resource encourages students to reflect on the implications of living with extended family and the communal responsibilities it may create.
