Why?
ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Because they built houses. It’s not like white people invented the idea of home ownership.

Did they own the houses, or were they the communities houses?

Depends on the group. Iroquois houses were communal but Pueblo were more like townhomes. Other groups, like the Mississippian culture built individual homes.
