I gots one of these


It's all very nice and that. Downsides are choking to death on smoke, stinking of smoke, smoke making everything you own stinky and black, being chewed mercilessly by mosquitos, small animals running over you while you sleep, smoke, smoke and smoke. Oh and there's no windows.
Upsides, it looks great illuminated at night and it is a cool and shady spot to hang out on a steamy hot day but I understand why native Americans choose to live in houses.

Choose?
Does look pretty cool though!

There is choice.
By which I mean that the First Nations (as we call 'em here) have land on which they can do what they like.
Granted it's a tiny percentage of the land they used before the white man came along, but it's there and it's theirs.
They could put up tipis or build houses or put a big trailer park there if they wished.
Sadly they tend to have horrible dilapidated houses and yards full of scrap cars and shit, very traditional I'm sure.
The chief usually has a nice house and car mind.

Yeah
but they were mostly nomadic, so I guess they didn't have much choice when their way of life was destroyed and even in there new life it seems failry bad compared to their free roaming days, which was their cultral choice. i.e following the buffalo. They got shafted pretty bad imo.

Try pointing the pickup the other way if you leave the engine running
No choking to death on smoke, stinking of smoke, smoke making everything you own stinky and black then.

Exhaust smoke is a positive breath of fresh air compared to burning damp logs!
