What were Alabama homes like in the past?
The Alabama people lived in square-shaped villages of houses and small farm plots. Alabama houses had plaster and rivercane walls with thatched roofs. These dwellings were about as strong and warm as a log cabin. The Alabamas also built a larger circular lodge for town meetings, and most villages had a lacrosse field with benches for spectators. An Alabama village was usually surrounded with palisades (reinforced walls) to guard against attack. No one uses these old-fashioned houses for shelter anymore. Alabamas live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you.
