Native American wetu: a dome house preceding Bucky Fuller

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2015
- The Wampanoag people who lived along the U.S. East Coast built dome-shaped homes called wetus. The round shape was most efficient for heating or cooling the home evenly and for withstanding high winds and hurricanes. It also emerged naturally from the support structure built from saplings bent to create a frame. The winter homes were covered in bark and the summer homes were covered in mats woven from cattail reeds.
“I know some people who wouldn’t mind going back to the traditional houses,” explains Tim Turner, manager of the Wampanoag Indigenous Program at Plimouth Plantation. “The Wampanoag lived in these houses until about the 1960s on Cape Cod. In the 1940s or so it was outlawed because it didn’t have running water or electricity."

I met this guide when my daughter went to the Plymouth Plantation in fifth grade. She is 21 now. Glad he is still there. He is a dedicated educator. We need to know about this technology and the eco possibilities of these natural materials.
Amazing. Met him today.
4 to 5 hours a day of work, living in nature, no mortgages... Devolution comes to my mind...

Your comment is vague.
Are you suggesting that the Wampanoag people are living in a state of devolution?
Because it's not really clear to me.
stap0510 I mean quite the opposite, I am mocking western civilization.
Lol...I rather live in the city where I can access anything I want.
So you need an access to air pollution, traffic jam and everlasting stress and depression...
Constant worrying about being raided, young women dying in childbirth, famines after poor harvests, no modern medicine, no dentists ...
I feel better just watching this, thanks! Also SO much wisdom in Native/Indigenous Teachings and we need this to heal our planet today.
I hope they continue to pass on this knowledge to there children
It's amazing that even though their people lived like that for so long, then suddenly, the government tells them they can't because there is no running water or electricity.
Evicted...no covid masks.
Cape Cod Massachusetts
Electricity and plumbing water...sewage= civilization...plus ice!
@@johnrogan9420 thanks for your vast insight, Joe Rogan. This is an example of "civilization" as well, jester.
You both have points, but I lean on the side of thinking the government should have left the native communities be and try to continue their traditional ways of living and culture in the pittance of space left to them, instead of trying to make sure they’re up to some code. If they as a people agree to live in that society of their heritage, whose business is it to destroy that? Such a shame to have made that mistake.
wow amazing. i wish communities were allowed to live this way if they chose
Jay 1 We can, we could do it tomorrow. We would only have to worry about the brainwashed "government repetitiveness" and the domesticated man that would report the living man to them.
Jay 1 Unsustainable. If your community is no use to the economic welfare of the nation, i.e. taxes, then the nation has no interest in protecting your alternative choice of living should it face threat from development, and you have no say in it unless you were once part of the system and have your finances sorted. And nations are built upon common law and levies, and integrating all its people into the same system in order to prosper internationally. This is why Germany's many municipalities became a nation, and why gypsies and tribes the world over are coerced into assimilation. Sad shame but maybe it could change.
E Long I've seen far too many people's homes be condemned because they refuse running water. The gov comes in with the bulldozers and knock them down.
The governments are created by people like us. We need to love these people so the snap out of this ridiculous obedient and destructive paradigm.
Great info! Cool guy with lots of knowledge!
i guess I am quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online?
@Musa Thomas lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

Thanks, Kirsten!!! This is excellent! You are truly one of the best planning educators around today.
what's happenin on the reservations these days in comparison.. gotta be worth a look, surely.. oh, great vid btw kirsten, more indigenous houses/huts/shelters, whatever is really interesting.
Wow. Lovely. Traditions that should be keep proudly for generations.
very nice, but sad to see the great history of the Native American People being forgotten. This type of knowledge should be protected to some degree.
Not only that. The Europeans should be held accountable for genocide.
Awesome how they blend with the environment.
Fascinating; so cool. This guy is so knowledgeable and generous to give his time and work, passing on a very vital part of history and this incredible culture.
Sounds like an extremely useful survival shelter. Always interesting to see the different methods of alternative building. The art of lashing, be it in houses or in the boats of the ancient world has always been fascinating. Thanks Kirsten
Incredible craftsmanship! Really glad to see the knowledge kept alive!
Wow these are amazing! Thanks for all of your hard work. I love your videos!
Beautiful.
this is awesome! 45 degrees in, never knew that.
This is a wonderful design and it's so great that the tradition hasn't been lost.
AND THE WAY THE WORLD IS GOING AT THE MOMENT.... MANY OF US WILL BE GOING BACK TO THIS WAY OF LIVING... AND LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!
GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR NATIVE AMERICANS.... WE STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM YOU AND WE HUMBLY AND RESPECTIVELY ASK THAT YOU TEACH US THE WAYS OF THE WISE ONES!
GOD BLESS
AMEN
thank you for sharing this beautiful knowledge so that we can continue this path in the future.
Thank you. Your videos are always enlightening!
An incredible video! Seeing the simplicity of life of the Wampanoag people, and the many tribes like theirs across the globe makes one think about how much knowledge has been lost in terms of our original "knowing" of the land around us. We have become such a dependent world and society, moving further and further away from nature....Sad.
visited for free on this past friday for free fun fridays. wonderful, unforgettable experience!
Wonderful information.
Tim Turner, what a fantastic presenter and presentation.
Tim is awesome, met him yesterday when our family visited for a homeschool class.
This is great, thanks for sharing. Funny to think that housing that existed for 12,000 years is now against the law. I wonder if they would be able to live this way if the piece of land was large enough and in the right state.
one of the words springing to my mind watching your videos Kirsten, is AWESOME +/or AMAZING... This, once again, is so surprising, wonderfully documented and explained and shows us that we're not the inventors of everything, good, practical, useful.... Thank you so much!
Very interesting and informative, thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Totally interesting information and the historian describes the materials and the community very well. really enjoyed this one.
Thank you for the upload this was very inspiring and informative
Wow what an interesting video, thanks for sharing!
Very interesting. It's nice to know how traditional people lived.
Thank you this is very interesting and informative.
thank you for making all thrse movies
That was great. Many thanks for the lesson.
Great story!
Very nice. The natives out here had a similar home built of Cedar and Douglas Fir.
Thank you for this, what a great explanation!
good historical info.
Amazing homes I'd love to learn more about the Wampanoag and their way of life. can anyone recommend some learning resources? also, what are some ways I could support the community?
Very cool!
Very good. - Mike
Very interesting.
Incredible!
Cedar...good tip!
Incredible.
awesome tnk kirsten
May The GREAT SPIRIT pour out blessings on you and yours even after the return of the White Buffalo.Peace be unto you my brother.✝️🖤🖤🖤
fascinating!!!
Amazing
amazing
Can you even imagine, hundreds, thousands of years ago, waking up in one of those long houses on a very cold winter morning with no good reason to wake up and do something special..and then snuggling back down in all those toasty warm layers of fur with the cushy grass underneath??? Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!
Cool video I have second sight. I was in this area when my poodle got too hot in the car so I asked the ancestors to help me. My family came to the East Coast from the UK in the 16 hundreds. So I have a lot of ancestors. I am a medium so I can see dead people easy. So my answer for to cool my dog in the car came to me. I saw an American Indian women about 50 looking wearing skins walk up to me. I was not shocked she was wearing skins. So she looked at me she made her soul larger then the trees. So I got out of my body made my soul big like hers. She got a baskets of sticks made it in her mind. So I stood right next to her and imagined a basket also. She reached out north east with the wind to grab clouds in the sky and put them in her basket so I did the same. Then when her basket was all full she turned over the basket in front of her up wind about a mile from us west north. And I did as well. Then she made her soul smaller to regular size. I did the same by the time I got back in my body she was gone. I looked for her to thank her but ended up saying thank you to the air. Now I thought she could be dead a few hundred years and as a grandmother she answered my prayer. BUT years later looking for her again from South Carolina I found her she was alive when she answered my prayers she was standing next to a time tunnel that connected her time to our time. !!!!!!! Wow I thought Indians are so smart they know about time tunnels and found some to communicate with other times if people in the future would notice them also. But back to the story after we got clouds to make rain a freaken storm happened that made my car about 20 degrees cooler so my puppy was so cool in the car. My first day at cloud stealing for rain making!!!! Never forget what the Indians have to teach everyone it is truly a blessing to all people. I fell asleep thinking the grandmothers still love the children. I was so happy please send it to the children of this tribe also they still have grandmothers who help them.
How come no one is bringing up the obvious- that this guy's woohaa is hanging out?! He's so authentic that he wears a traditional loin cloth and shares his jewels with all of you colonists!
what was the most efficient method of digging post holes before metal?
Whoa - flashback to better days...:-)
where in new england was this?
where do they live ?
How do you keep the mosquitoes away? And, what do you do about bears?
Very cool, thank you. Incidentally, "cat-o-nine tail" at 5:39 - lol! Oops. Modern Mass slipped out.
wow
Modern is not all that it's cracked up to be. You work 8-12 hours a day to earn some paper that you use to buy and maintain a structure to hold useless stuff that you buy with that paper and to have a place to sleep. You also have to buy a complex metal buggy to get to and from your work, which in itself takes a good half hour to an hour or more a day. You get one to two days a week where you don't have to work to earn paper, but you still have to work to maintain your structure and the property surrounding it. Not to mention trying to maintain your social life and relations with family. You're convinced you have to buy this or that. You're convinced that this is normal and acceptable, to work the majority of your life just to survive. You have nothing to compare it to because a simpler life is illegal. "They" say it's unsafe, that it's uncivilized, that you aren't allowed to live like that. They're basically saying you have no right to control how you live. They imply you're too stupid to live the way you want, so they make rules saying you must live how they say to live. Even society is against you, they say you must uphold a level of appearance.
As a living human, you are an individual. You and only you have control over your life and destiny. If you want to do something and it doesn't harm others, nobody else has a right to tell you that you can't do it. Personally, I would much rather live the life of a native than to live a modern life, however, modern life has broken me to a degree and I'm not sure I can recover enough. I can however encourage those who are not yet broken to live their lives how they want to regardless of what others say. Use that big beautiful brain in your skull and learn from those who know what they're doing and you will do fine.
That must took forever to build
why don't they build a modern-day version of these homes with electricity and water? if people want to live in them, in a way, they still can. if people can live in tiny homes, it should be doable for them to do this.
How dare anyone tell anyone else what type of home they want to live in!!
Native American with .....Boston? accent is nice to look at. :-D
LOL He is from Massachusetts.😀
i see Clark Kent there at the back...wearing blue t shirt xD.
great info for doomsday living!
Thank god they didn't obey the gubmint!!! They still have the memory!
Bless them forever!
Chingusku speaks the Queens 👸English!
When I was a kid I wished I were Native or a pioneer
Why do the build them so tall? Doesn't that lose all the heat?
Probably helps clear the smoke.
omg I can't see the video
Live right down the street from here. Attend the Thanksgiving protest every single year.
I like his "skirt" cover, does anyone knows what is it called? this type of clothing so i don't call it skirt. thanks
Isn't it called a loincloth?? That is what I learned growing up. I am in the Midwest, and the Illini and Potawatomi Indians were here-we'll, they still are!! I believe they also used a loincloth, more in the summer months, and then they would wear buckskins breeches underneath when it was cold. About 10-15 years ago I saw a beautiful display of the local Native American clothing at the Field Museum in Chicago. My God, the amount of work put into some of the clothing and accessory items was amazing-they were stunning.
why dont people stil live like that? It sounds better than staring at phones or electronics all day and better than using money.

You got to be kidding me!
That's ridiculous! You couldn't live in it if it didn't have running water or electricity?!
Stephen Hill , I lived without electricity for two years. I highly recommend it. Water does come from the land but, people are trying to control it? Crazy?! Why can't it be the way it used to be?
Stephen Hill , I guess you're right. There is hope. If the power grid went down we wouldn't have much of a choice.
His term Wampon-on, is characteristic of 13 + 'family' members' in such close bedding positions...plays right into the Catholic church refusing to recognize birth control as a means of expanding a woman's place & opportunities in life.
