Summary: "Houses and House-Life of the American Aborigines" by Lewis Henry Morgan is an anthropological study published in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the architectural designs and domestic structures of various Native American tribes, examining how these were influenced by social organization and communal living patterns. The opening of the text introduces Morgan's intention to provide a comprehensive analysis of the houses and living arrangements of American aborigines as a continuation of his prior work, "Ancient Society." He outlines a methodological framework to understand the interconnectedness of housing, social structures, and cultural practices among tribes from different periods of development. Morgan argues that aboriginal housing forms, from the Long Houses of the Iroquois to various adobe structures in New Mexico, reflect the collective organization of society and familial relations, emphasizing the communal rather than individualistic nature of living arrangements.
