What did they build the Indian hogan with?

There seems to be a misunderstanding. "Indian hogan" isn't a specific type of structure.

* Hogan is a traditional dwelling of the Navajo people, not a general term for all Native American homes.

* "Indian" is considered an outdated and often offensive term. It's better to use specific tribal names.

Here's what Navajo hogans are built with:

* Logs: These are typically juniper or ponderosa pine, which are common in the Navajo Nation.

* Mud: Used as a mortar to bind the logs together and fill gaps.

* Earth: The floor is typically made of packed earth.

* Branches and twigs: These can be used for insulation and structural support.

* Reed mats: Used as a roof covering.

If you're interested in learning more about specific Native American dwellings, it's important to use respectful and accurate terminology and learn about the unique traditions and materials of each tribe.
