Abstract
Housing constructed for American Indians has paid little attention to their cultural practices and is based on Anglo architectural design. This study investigated the housing situation of the Pima Indians who live in the Gila River Community and found that present Indian housing lacks: (1) identification of individual cultural, and environmental conditions; (2) identification of responsibilities; (3) maintenance; and (4) flexibility in governmental standards for Indian housing. Indian Sandwich Housing built by the Tribal Work Experience Program (TWEP) is discussed as an alternative.
