"Adds an important chapter to a rather sparse, albeit growing, literature on Indigenous design and architecture. . . . Rebukes the view that tribes in the Americas only had teepees and igloos."–Journal of Native American and Indigenous Studies "Presents a compelling examination of the chickee that is as much ethnohistory as architectural history."–H-Net "Never before has there been a systematic study of chickees. . . . An informative and detailed exploration of chickees at the intersection of architectural history and cultural analysis."–Florida Historical Quarterly
