How Native Americans Built Shelters to Survive 100 mph Winter Blizzards | Human Craft Documentary

This documentary explores how Native Americans built shelters capable of surviving the brutal 100 mph blizzards of the Great Plains and Northern forests. It focuses on the engineering of earth-lodges, pit houses, and timber-reinforced domes designed to withstand extreme wind, cold, and snow. The film explains how thick soil walls, low aerodynamic profiles, and central fire pits created insulation and stability that modern structures still imitate. It also shows how these designs were shaped by generations of observation — turning the environment itself into a shield against the storm. The story reveals the science, craftsmanship, and survival intelligence behind Indigenous winter architecture.
