The fact that the Onawo were nomads influenced greatly on their architecture and general knowledge of private property and animal domestication. Simplicity although a key factor of their movable homes, was also a disadvantage in terms of climate coexistence. The difficulties this indigenous band faced were mostly due to the rigid climates they encountered, the scarcity of animal and unfertile soils.
The materials used to build the huts were wood and turf, with a shape similar to the one built by the northern Navite Americans, but with a big difference: there is no use of animal skins. As it was previously mentioned, the lack of “big” animals in the entire continent of South America (i.e deers and bisons) made impossible for them to take advantage of this resource.
