Materials and Construction
REDWOOD BARK
DOUGLAS FIR (FOR POLE)
THE CONE-SHAPED HOUSE WAS CREATED BY LEANING REDWOOD BARK SLABS AROUND A MAIN SUPPORT POLE. THE PLANKS AND EXTRA BARK WERE LAYERED FOR WEATHER PROOFING. THE ONLY OPENINGS WERE A SMOKE HOLE IN THE TOP AND AN ENTRY.Slide5

Conclusion
To build my model I gathered resources from my surroundings. This is the same process that Native Americans would have used in their culture. The bark that I gathered was from a dead Sycamore tree. Native Americans would use dead or fallen trees to build their homes as well. Tribes relied heavily on nature in their culture and did not want to kill anything if it was not necessary, including trees.
I did use hot glue, which the Native American tribes did not have, but the glue was not needed to construct this model. It was only used so that I could transport the model to school and prevent collapse. I used a modern day resource, in other words, I was being resourceful ;-).
