Indigenous groups in the arid Southwest, such as the Pueblo and Hopi, constructed multi-story homes out of adobe (sun-dried mud and straw brick). Why did they choose adobe?

Adobe was imported from European traders in exchange for beaver furs. Dense pine forests made wooden timber the rarest resource in North America. Clay and straw were readily available local materials that provided insulation against desert heat and cold. Adobe structures could be folded up and transported on horseback when moving following fish.

Correct Answer:

Clay and straw were readily available local materials that provided insulation against desert heat and cold.
