: In settling an island, the first building
: erected by a Spaniard will be a church;
: by a Frenchman, a fort; by a Dutchman,
: a warehouse; and by an Englishman, an alehouse.

: (18th Century Proverb)

The colonial would build a cabin, the permanent housing of the day!

Hey, there's a stereotype that the Indians lived in movable housing so they could travel with the weather. But surely that's not true across the board. Does anyone know a bit about this or where I can find out -- generally, which communities stayed put and which were nomadic?
